=== 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.
