Serial Protocol to set RGB values

Thinking of implementing serial Rx on glo's GPIO pin so we can set the RGB values using a USB to serial adapter. The chip has 64 bytes of EEPROM so I could even store a pattern on it...

I think it would be really convenient if you could add a gamma-corrected mode. The problem with the linear intensity control that PWM provides is that it doesn't match the response of the eye - all the bright levels are very similar, and there are abrupt jumps in the dim ones. If the gamma-correction were done in the glo board, you could have a full 8-bit range of gamma-corrected values that turned into more than 8-bits of PWM (like 10 or 12).

Thanks. I had looked at Binary Code Modulation before:

In any case, glo can be reprogrammed, so the user is free to change the firmware. I am also building a pogo pin programmer to make this easy.
