ledsign 0.8.0

LED Sign Python API

LED Sign

This ledsign module allows the direct control and programming of the LED Sign series of devices using Python 3, or through a dedicated CLI interface. This module however does not allow for hardware-level configuration of the device, as any such modifications must be done through the dedicated UI interface.

The documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs, accessible through this link.

Installation

The ledsign is available for easy download via PyPI. It can be installed with pip:

$ pip install ledsign

Alternatively, development versions can be installed directly from the GitHub repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/krzem5/ledsign
$ cd ledsign
$ pip install -e .

CLI Interface

Outside of the programmatic interface outlined in the Documentation, the ledsign module also features a command-line interface, accessible through the Python executable:

$ python -m ledsign -h
