A project log for Open Source Light and Motion Controller

The goal of this project is to develop an open-source firmware and controller for kinetic sculptures, mobiles and moving lamps.

Cloned the openmili project and made my first attempt at trying to get the MySensors Nano RF Shield to detect any sort of packets from my remote, no dice. Still many questions to be answered, but getting a better understanding of the task that lies ahead.

There are several related projects out there that might provide clues, such as this and this and this, but one key differentiating factor is that these projects on sending commands to such lamps, rather than what I want to do, which is receive commands from a remote. Essentially, I am trying to make my own Milight-compatible lamp, which is compatible with the proprietary Milight remotes and Milight gateway, which I already own.

The only lead I've found so far that appears similar to what I am trying to do is this, but while there is a mention of a github page, a link to it is nowhere to be found.
