A small application to drive LED matrix displays, such as the pimoroni unicorn, from nodejs. My intention is to create a digital graffiti/guestbook system.

Make sure you are on a recent nodejs version. Raspbian has an old version. Use nodesource ;).

Copy config.example.json to config.json and pick a driver + display size.

execute:

npm install
nodejs pixdisp.js

Navigate to http://localhost:8080/
