Install the [https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next ckb-next] software. Open the user interface and select the [https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next/wiki/Animations#pipe Pipe animation]. From your experiment you can now simply make the g key red with (in bash):
echo "rgb g:ff0000ff" > /tmp/ckbpipe000
or (in Python):
with open("/tmp/ckbpipe000", "w") as k70:
print("rgb g:ff0000ff", file=k70)
