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.

Take a look at the contained crates for language specific information:
