README
=== About ===
stdd (short for "simple time display daemon") is a handy little daemon for
the Raspberry PI device that can be used to display the current time on a
7 segment display with a HT16K33 backpack from Adafruit Industries. It
makes heavy use of the python libraries published by Adafruit to control
the display via I2C.
=== USAGE ===
see ./stdd
=== Dependencies ===
stov depends on the following software to be installed:
* python 2.7 or higher (lower 2.x versions might work but are not tested 3.x is not supported)
* python-smbus
* python-plctl (optional)
=== COPYING ===
see LICENSE
=== Configuration ===
HW_ADDRESS: hardware address for your display, a common value is
"0x70" use i2cdetect to find yours if it doesn't match
BLINK_COLON: define if you want the middle colon to blink, 0 = off, 1
= on
BRIGHTNESS_HIGH: value used for "high" brightness, valid values are
0-15
BRIGHTNESS_LOW: value used for "low" brightness, valid values are
0-15
SET_BRIGHTNESS_LOW: value used for "low" brightness, valid values are
0-15
SET_BRIGHTNESS_HIGH: time of the day to change the brightness from
low to high
SYSLOG_LEVEL: maximum syslog level to log, stdd uses debug, info and
error
SYSLOG_FACILITY: syslog facility to use for logging (default: user,
can also be daemon)
=== Known issues ===
None yet
=== Installation ==
see INSTALL
