" summary

Builds one smart RGB LED light using a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino-like board as an I2C slave, with GPIO-driven LED strip driver and a single power supply. Software is Swift on Raspberry Pi for a HomeKit bridge using the HAP Swift library and C firmware on the microcontroller to read RGB bytes plus a two-byte transition delay. Uses a custom Swift/ARM toolchain; the setup publishes as a HomeKit light bulb and successfully responds to Siri, but Swift on ARM is a limited subset.
