In plain words
This project combines a Raspberry Pi with LEDs to create a physical activity gauge for file servers. It displays real-time server activity through visual indicators, allowing users to monitor file-server status at a glance. The setup is designed for anyone interested in hardware monitoring solutions or combining single-board computers with physical feedback systems. The complete code and instructions are available on GitHub.
