  • Go to RGB Color Now
    • Already implemented; just basic RGB functionality
  • Fade to RGB Color
    • Can be implemented; needs fading logic
  • Fade to HSB Color
    • Can be implemented; needs fading logic and HSB translation
  • Fade to Random RGB Color
    • Can be implemented; needs fading logic
  • Fade to Random HSB Color
    • Can be implemented; needs fading logic
  • Play Light Script
    • Can't be implemented; requires memory built into the component
    • Playing a sequence that's programmed on demand can be implemented
  • Stop Script
    • Can be implemented, for the limited play support that's possible
  • Set Fade Speed
    • Can be implemented
  • Set Time Adjust
    • Can be implemented
  • Get Current RGB Color

Right, and that's why I think a BlinkM-specific API might be nice. Though I could see this just being built on top of Johnny-Five, rather than being bundled.

I don't understand, there is nothing being taken away from the BlinkM, it will still store the sequences and play whatever sequence you set it to play. It's just that non-BlinkM things won't do that because they can't, but we can still play a sequence on non-BlinkM components.

something you'd do outside of the normal environment

I don't understand what you mean by this
