Hi folks,
Has anyone had any experience using these ingenious bits of kit?
https://www.blinkstick.com/
I pretty much just dived straight in and purchased a couple of Blinkstick Squares and Enclosures without doing my homework!
Figured it would be cool to setup these to work with ED, a couple of things come to mind such as under attack, missiles incoming and new message, each event having a unique colour.
You can see a demo here using a smaller version while playing DOOM, gives a good general idea.

However, this is now where I start to get a little out of my depth, I can see loads of API stuff online but I have no idea which I should use in order to accomplish this.
So i phoned an ITD friend, pretty sure he just laughed at me after what I figured was a good explanation on what i wanted to do [woah] Think I might be figuring this out on my own, but hopefully with some help from you guys!
I guess my first question is, is there a specific API or "whatever" that I should be looking at first in order to get this project in motion?
Thanks!
