Tools for testing and debugging Luminator sign communications.
For the basic task of sign communication, you likely want to use the high-level API
in the flipdot crate instead.
This crate isn't directly related to controlling a real sign, but provides some helpful diagnostic tools.
VirtualSignBus is a general-purpose mock implementation of one or more signs attached to the bus,
and Odk allows connecting a real ODK over serial to a SignBus.
Intended only for hobbyist and educational purposes. Not affiliated with Luminator in any way.
use flipdot_testing::{Address, Odk, VirtualSign, VirtualSignBus};
// Populate bus with signs from addresses 2 to 126
// (which seems to be the possible range for actual signs).
let signs = (2..127).map(Address).map(|addr| VirtualSign::new(addr, PageFlipStyle::Manual));
let bus = VirtualSignBus::new(signs);
// Hook up ODK to virtual bus.
let port = serial::open("COM3")?;
let mut odk = Odk::try_new(port, bus)?;
loop {
// ODK communications are forwarded to/from the virtual bus.
odk.process_message()?;
