+This software is intended to run on the moodlamp by
+muccc. (http://wiki.muc.ccc.de/moodlamp)
+
+Currenty (and for the foreseeable future) it is very
+concerning features. However, it will hopefully have
+a better documented protocol and run more stable.
+
+
+A more precise protocol description will follow at some
+point, also, the protocol will probably change until
+there is a real spec.
+
+Commands are line based and end with \r or \n or both.
+
+The only real command is 'iRRGGBB' - it sets the LED
+to the given color immediately, where RR, GG and BB are
+hex numbers between 00 and ff.
+
+Also, there is q. This turns on verbose mode. Right now,
+this means, the moodlamp will echo what is entered
+and acknowledge commands. In a future version, verbose
+mode will probably be default and applications should
+take care to turn it off if they generate bulk traffic.
+
+I know this could be much better, but I am not in the
+mood to think about the right solution for this here
+and now.
+
+If a command was not unerstood, a single question mark is
+printed.
