Independent heatbed tile control

Hello,

I'm new to PRUSA and wondering if anyone can help me before I purchase anything! 

I have a bit of a project where I'd like to test the XL heatbed tiles, but where some tiles will be at different temperatures - my questions are:

Is it possible to use the PRUSA XL modular bed controller to set the tiles to different temperatures?

If yes, what do I need to do to control that (assuming I need the sandwich board + XLBuddy Board as well as the modular bed controller as a minimum - will the standard firmware allow me to do anything if nothing else is connected?)

Is there a way to send commands to the printer to set the heated bed tile temperatures over serial? / Network? Is there an (ideally Python) API anywhere?...

Any help would be massively appreciated! Also happy to accept that this is maybe more 'tinkering' than its worth...

Thank you!

Niall
