Family Mood Light

Technical Information

Schema:
A daemon runs on a separate machine.
It checks a service for incoming txt messages.
If they begin with "Mood" it looks for the command,
and, if valid, posts it as a text file on a web server.
Bad commands are ignored.

The client software checks the web server to see if
it has changed from a prior read. It decides
what to display and does so for about 1-2 minutes
before checking again.

Hardware:

Raspberry Pi 3A (or any other)
Pimoroni's Unicorn HD matrix hat


Software:

All software is written in Python and utilizes some of the demos that
come with Pimoroni's Unicorn HD matrix.
