Sending Signals to your 5Q keyboard + developer API

A bit of lingo first: a signal is a message that contains color information (and more) to be displayed on a 5Q keyboard. All 3rd party platforms communicate with the Q clients by sending signals very much like your friends send text messages to your phone. Instead of being a text message, a signal contains also key color information.

Even without a real Q device, you can play with Signals. Signals will be displayed on the Q desktop "dashboard mode" and the Q Android app.

There are several possibilities to send signals to the 5Q keyboard:

Q Developer API

The developer Q API is an easy to use JSON REST API to send signals to the Q device.
