The protocol described at https://github.com/adafruit/Adalight/blo...am.pde#L42 might be compatible with boblightd, if a custom boblight.conf is used, and as long as you use boblight from http://code.google.com/p/boblight/ (the old boblight doesn't support a custom prefix).
The only thing I'm not sure about is the checksum value, it says "high byte XOR low byte XOR 0x55", but doesn't specify the high and low bytes of what exactly, if it's the high and low bytes of the number of leds then it should work with boblight, since the number of leds is static.
If that fails I could always add custom support for adalight.



I suggest just trying it out, you should be able to run the software without having any hardware attached, as long as you have a serial port to write to.

I can confirm this works. I wrote a boblight.conf to work with the arduino running adafruit's LEDstream.pde using a prefix nessesary for a 25 LED strand of WS2801.

*EDIT*
Bob, to answer your question, the high and low byte is a count of the lowest LED to use (going to be 0 for just about everyone) and the highest is the total count, 25 (18 in hex). The bit after that is a checksum of the latter 2, so it will not change unless the LED count does.
