divoom-protocol: reconstructed BLE control for Divoom displays
divoom-protocol implements a Python BLE client for Divoom Backpack M and TimeBox-Evo-audio displays using reconstructed framing and command sequences. Its documentation covers session initialization, brightness, channel switching, image frames and animation upload, and identifies commands that remain undecoded.
