# MiniToo Pixeldeck: Divoom display protocol and input research

> MiniToo Pixeldeck implements and documents the Divoom MiniToo's Bluetooth Classic display exchange. Its Python driver frames and uploads JPEG or optional Zstandard RGB pixel data, while research notes record observed media-button input paths and their limits. The toolkit includes interactive pixel demonstrations and protocol diagnostics.
