We normally use a click track but it was not possible at this show. This lead me to come up with this design for a visual metronome so the others know where we are in the bar. | We normally use a click track but it was not possible at this show.

Here are some pictures of the master unit that I have built. The board is a home made version of the pic core along with a custom DOUTx2 DINx1 board.
