But it makes less sense to speculate if we do not have a program. I suggest that you make a simple systemd Unit file just only for starting your program and improve it step by step until it works. | |

| Oct 22, 2018 at 17:26 | comment | added | nwales | I want to keep the state of the led lights - knowing the current status of any animation that they might be playing. Additionally, I have to run some initialization before controlling the light strips (neo-pixels) and my thinking is that it would be more performant to create that 1x and keep it in memory vs creating/destroying it over and over. | |
