8x8-text-display

Python code to display text on an Adafruit 8x8 dot matrix display. Again.

The two most important files here are:

• displayServer.py - Runs as a service, accepting socket-based messages to display.
• font.py - Code that implements a simple, bold, font.

To Do:

• Allow specification of port number.
• Something is eating leading and trailing input whitespace - who? (I think it's the sending program, not the server.)
• Re-write my code to be more object-y? Remove globals where possible?
• Clear display when done
• Implement commands
