Since the hardware is complete. The software needs to be done.
Software must:
Read the REED switch periodically (Every 1s?)
Flash the leds with duration between pulses to be no longer than 5 seconds and for duration of no less than 1 second.
Send data to the master node indicating the status of the reed switch.
Additional Options: (From Gareth) "you could use the strobe lights as a sort of countdown to when the sub is going to start, useful for everyone, and a neat little feature for the judges. It's one thing just blindly conforming to the rules we are given but making them better is a real plus."
