This code has been Tested with the PS3/4 and Wii U hardware versions. The XBox360 base is likely different.
Sample code:
from infinity import InfinityBase
base = InfinityBase()
# this will be run whenever a figure or disk is added/removed
base.onTagsChanged = lambda: print("Tags added or removed.")
base.connect()
# get all the figures and disks on the base
base.getAllTags(print)
base.setColor(1, 200, 0, 0)
base.setColor(2, 0, 56, 0)
base.fadeColor(3, 0, 0, 200)
time.sleep(3)
base.flashColor(3, 0, 0, 200)
while True:
pass
