As I was doing that, I also thought I’d message the vendor and ask them if they could share any specifications or docs regarding their protocol. To my surprise, Nanoleaf tech support responded to me within 4 hours, with a full description of the protocol that’s used both by the Desk Dock as well as their RGB strips.
Now that is cool.
- Whatever Nanoleaf is, now I need to go and check it out.
Neat. I have a wireless usb headset(Lucidsound ls50x) that I'm trying to do the same for but have zero Linux experience. This is a good read for me. Thanks for sharing!
Very enjoyable writing style
This gives me hope.
Very cool! Added the RSS.
Thanks for sharing.
Great writeup, great read!
Nice. Now what do I do if I have ~0 device driver experience^[not fully 0, because I might have used setpci a few times and built some drivers from source]?
Oh and I also have 0 devices to make a driver for :P, so need to fix that too.
