In CCCB, there is a big LED matrix screen you can send images to via UDP. This project aims to build a working an application that can receive packages in the same binary format and display the contents to the user. In CCCB, there is a big LED matrix screen you can send images to via UDP.

Use cases: Use cases:
- getting error messages for invalid packages - getting error messages for invalid packages
- test your project when outside of CCCB - test your project when outside CCCB

## Running
Check out this repository and run `cargo run --release`.
## Command line arguments
The application binds to `0.0.0.0:2342` by default (`./pixel-receiver-rs --bind host:port` to change this).
See [env_logger](https://docs.rs/env_logger/latest/env_logger/) to configure logging.
Because this program renders to an RGB pixel buffer, you can enjoy the following additional features not available on the real display:
- enable or disable the empty space between tile rows (`./pixel-receiver-rs --spacers` to enable)
- render pixels in red, green, blue or a combination of the three (`./pixel-receiver-rs -rgb` for white pixels)
