This code is a fork of the ledcontroller code by jmrobles http://robleshermoso.wordpress.com.

My contribution to the code was trivial. I added support for all the 7 colors of the notifier as the original code only supported the 3 basic colors.

As jmrobles' website is in Spanish, his code on dropbox and I had a difficult time finding it, I uploaded it to GitHub.
