iDotDisplay

iDotDisplay is a simple application for controlling a dot matrix display, similar to what iDotMatrix offers. It allows users to display custom images on their dot matrix display, making it more versatile than what the original application from the manufacturer provides.

iDot Display

Features

  • Display custom images on your dot matrix display
  • Display custom text messages
  • Turn on/off the display
  • Adjust brightness levels

Architecture

The RESTFul API server application is built using Python and Flask, while the client application is developed using React. The server handles the Bluetooth communication with the dot matrix display, while the client provides a user-friendly interface for controlling the display. The server exposes endpoints for uploading images and controlling the display, which the client interacts with to send commands and display images.
