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.

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.

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!
