Adds RGB LED support to OctoPrint with the ability to choose effects based on the current status of your printer
Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:
https://github.com/EricHigdon/OctoPrint-Rgb_status/archive/master.zip
Since OctoPrint should usually not be run as root, the default LED pin is 10 (SPI). For details about what may be required to use SPI on your instance, see https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x#spi
SPI requires you to be in the gpio group if you wish to control your LEDs without root.
You can add the pi user to the group with sudo adduser pi gpio
You'll also need to enable SPI by running sudo raspi-config interfacing options > SPI > Enable
