of course i can, but imagination u want to set the channel order, lights information by an external program, u cannot provide this infornation to boblightd. For now, its not bidirectional as u can get the lights information provided by boblightd but u cant set them.
For example, if i use the ras pi only for daemon, as interface Lan -> Lights using its /dev/spidev0.0 - i want to set the lights information from an external gui, like a DreamBox satalite receiver. Or maybe from a second HTPC. Maybe only one time yes matching to that TV . for now i need to connect directly on that daemon device to change the boblight.conf one time at least. I will not be able to increase the blocks... or stuff directly from another device.
If the other device is able to create a boblight,conf fine, it would be nice if it would be possible to send this boblight.conf to boblightd and boblightd stores this configuration on the local device so u can provide transparent data.
Another idea... u can directly connect a RGB stripe to the RasPi and u can binary controll it over the /dev/spidev0.0
Is it possible to send binary values on an defined output?
I think a new type would be needed then or? no prefix, no postfix, blank binary RGB values on an defined output device
I dont have a RasPi right now but im in contact with one who has one raspi connected to rgb stripes ws2801 directly and this works fine.
