Overview

There is a giant LED sign at the shop. I am very lazy so I am not going to tell you what kind it is. However, I do know that the python library for Alpha American and Betabrite signs will drive it just fine.

The current code was written by User:brimstone, I believe, before there were really libraries out there for using the sign. So the protocol was written into the script by him. I am working on a rewrite based on Python, so that we can use the ready-made library. Once this is done, I will work other capabilities into it so that it can be controlled via REST API and ultimately via RQ.
