Good stuff, thanks - it worked flawlessly. Two suggestions:

  • for Windows, zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/) is another (nicer?) option to install libusb as driver for the device, though it's easier to choose an incorrect version that does not work with pyusb
  • the suggestion for the Python installation (include the link?! auto-detect: https://www.python.org/downloads/, all releases: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) recommends the launcher, but usage examples start with sudo ... and lack an example call for Windows, e.g. 'py led-badge-11x44.py "Hello World!"`

BTW, my unit's microcontroller is marked "MM32L052PF" which seems to made by "MINDMOTION MICROELECTRONICS" and have an ARM Cortex M0 core (IC package: LQFP48).

So it's probably "hackable".

Hi @gnbl, I also added your suggestions to my docu update in pull request #47, you might want to check them out. If you have experience with Zadig, feel free to add a short instruction, how to use it.
