title: How to tell an IP address with 4 LEDs?
body: <p>I am developing a net-managed device with the .NET Micro Framework.  Since the idea is to have  a bunch of devices in an office, sometimes it is necessary for the user to know the IP address of a specific device.  </p>
  
  <p>So I've been trying to come with ideas on how to indicate the IP address the user. The only user interface is 4 LED lights that I can blink on and off at varying speeds.  </p>
  
  <p>So far, the best idea I could come up with is this: seeing how the IP address has 4 parts and I have 4 LEDs, it would make sense that each LED be responsible for a single IP address part.
  So for address like 192.168.0.34, I'd have LED1 blink once, then pause, then blink 9 times, pause, then blink 2 times.  The action would then shift to the LED2, which would blink out 168 in a similar manner and so on.  Number 0 would be indicated by blinking really fast for half a second.</p>
  
  <p>Any other ideas?</p>
