LED Sign
The PLSE sign is a LED sign hanging in the lab that displays various things, like a Game of Life binary clock or deadline countdowns.
To start a deadline countdown, run /deadline sign [conference]
,
which uses deadbot’s database of conference deadlines.
The sign can also be programmed. You write Python programs that run on the computer controlling the sign; this Python program uses a library to send drawing commands to the Arduino controlling the sign.
To program the sign, ask Stuart to get
your key added to plseaudio
and check out the repository
debian@plseaudio:/srv/plseaudio/sign/sign-code.git
Any time you push to that repository, the sign will restart automatically with whatever changes you made.
