Control RGB LED displays using Raspberry Pi GPIO. Connect the Pi to an off-the-shelf racing timer that outputs Alge's timer display protocol (by ethernet, or could modify to accept USB via serial null-modem cable).

Race timers output to LED display boards using serial data, or by ethernet UDP using a similar serial data stream. One protocol is the Alge display protocol. This fork is intended to support modifying an off-the-shelf LED display board to be driven by a Raspberry Pi (here, the Pi 3B+) to handle the protocol and display information output from the off-the-shelf racing timer via a USB-to-Ethernet adapter and connected to the Pi.

Forked from https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix

Can be edited in VS Code, push updates to GitHub; on the Pi command line use git pull to update, and then make
