framebuffer-digits

Command line utility to display graphical digits on the frame buffer.

My Raspberry Pi Bitcoin Ticker project needed to display digits fullscreen on a framebuffer and be very lightweight so I wrote this command line utility that accepts some digits as an argument and displays them on the local frame buffer.

The bitmap images are hard-coded and somewhat resemble a flip clock. Included are the digits zero through nine, a dollar sign and a period. It is about as basic as one can get.

To compile, run:

make

To run:

./showdigits $123.45
