Case study

pyidotmatrix: researching and implementing iDotMatrix BLE control

Implements the iDotMatrix BLE display protocol as a typed Python SDK while documenting findings from vendor APK analysis and hardware probes. Packet builders cover images, GIFs, text, effects and native display modes; a bundled CLI decodes Android btsnoop captures into annotated traffic. The project records feature status against a reference 32×32 panel.
