Is it possible to use data from CUBE and control LEDs?

Yes, cube shell (connection is described above) offers several commands for retrieving data from accelerometer and commands for full control of all LEDs. Read the SDK manual for more information, commands of interest are: “clr, pled, pleds, pledarr, motion”. Motion is a special command that sends in frequency 125 Hz state information from game state machine. That means not only raw accelerometer data, but for example as well recognized taps.

How shell can communicates with scripts?

FW 4.5 allows to use command “prunf N”, which starts automatically script on N-th position. Future version should be able to start any scripts via its name if present. Also SDK implements standard function “printf(…)” which outputs formatted text to shell line. So this output, even originally designed as debug function, can be parsed by external program. At this moment there is no line that would allow to send message to the script, but it is planned for next update.
