In [CCCB](https://berlin.ccc.de/), there is a big pixel matrix hanging on the wall. It is called  "Service Point
Display" or "Airport Display".
This repository contains a library for parsing, encoding and sending packets to this display via UDP in multiple
programming languages.

This project moved to [git.berlin.ccc.de/servicepoint/servicepoint](https://git.berlin.ccc.de/servicepoint/servicepoint). 
The [GitHub repository](https://github.com/cccb/servicepoint) remains available as a mirror.
