It's a amazing to me what can be made / sold for so cheap. A friend recently got one of these

(note: the picture with the hand is way off scale. Thing is slightly larger than a MagSafe phone charging ring (since one way to power it is to put it over such a ring)

$25

Unfortunately I have no experience on how to mod it and after searching for 10-15 mins it seemed like more work than I wanted to deal with. Seems like you need to build your own firmware and re-flash it. I found someone had used it to build a nest like control for Home Assistant

If I'd found an easier way to just write some python or JavaScript I might have spent a few hours/days making some round games or demos.



Sounds like you can make your own software (firmware) for it with micropython:
