Trying to save the next guy/gal some trouble in finding out what is needed to setup lava lamps or traffic lights or what have you (the term I believe is eXtreme Feedback Devices) as a BIG VISIBLE INDICATOR of your continuous integration build status.

Ensure your post includes... (and please don't mess this question up with imaginative responses.. although it may be insanely funny at the point of conception)

the XFD
what 'helper' hardware is needed
software that you managed to hook it up with
detailed instructions on how to set it up
