-==Summary==
-[[File:102424263.jpg|thumb|Prototyping]]
-[[File:Jonty and sign.jpg|thumb|Installed]]
-This is the board that hangs in the space.
-It sends visual and audible notifications to the space, and also publishes notifications to the network: temperature, movement etc
-Current version 0.2
-==Phases==
-:*Phase 1: <strike>Allow messages to be displayed on the LED board from IRC.</strike>
-:*Phase 2: <strike>Add sounds when the message changes.</strike>
-:*Phase 3: Add strobe beacons.
-:*Phase 4: Daemon the arduino and allow connection via MQTT, add idle messages.
-Moved to separate project/arduino:
-:<strike>*Phase 5: Add temperature, light level and PIR sensors.</strike>
-:<strike>*Phase 6: Add i-wire, inc i-buttons.</strike>
-==Code==
-:Arduino Code: [http://github.com/solexious/NotifyBoard]
-:Arduino Lib: [http://github.com/solexious/MatrixDisplay]
-:IRC Script: [http://github.com/londonhackspace/irccat-commands/blob/master/setBoard.py]
-==Change Log==
-===v0.3===
-* Allow messages upto 162 chars long
-* Scroll for messages longer than the screen
-===v0.2===
-* Include full ascii support
-* Add initText
-* Remove update speed delay
-===v0.1===
-* Initial proof of concept
-* Limit to a-z A-Z and 0-9
-==Protocol Specification==
-===Sending a message===
-Currently, messages are sent directly over serial.
-They are upto 160 char's long, and can only be from regular ascii. The message is terminated with a line return.
-'''This is a test msg\n'''
-===Proposed new protocol===
-There are 2 types of message:
-:* Idle - for rolling messages, i.e. temprature, currently playing song, number of irc users. Will keep last value till updated.
-:* Alert - for one time shown messages, allows sounds
-====Idle====
-The settings for idle messages are:
-* Message slot [0-5] - (see list below for reserving a slot)
-* Time sensitive? [0-1] - If you need to bump the idle message to be the next shown, i.e. currently playing song changes
-* Message [up to 21 chars]
-Examples:
-(Substituting STX, ETB and EOT for their respective ascii chars.)
-So to send, Temprature: 21.5, you would send:
-'''STX'''1'''ETB'''0'''ETB'''Temprature: 21.5'''EOT'''
-Or to send, Iron Maiden - Prowler, time sensitive:
-'''STX'''2'''ETB'''1'''ETB'''Iron Maiden - Prowler'''EOT'''
-====Alert====
-The settings for alert messages are:
-* Message slot [A] - Denotes alerts from idle messages
-* Blink [0-1] - Blink the display for more attention
-* Sound [0-5] - Set off a sound, see list
-* Display timeout - The length of time to display the message for
-* Message [up to 21 chars]
-Examples:
-(Substituting STX, ETB and EOT for their respective ascii chars.)
-To send, Ping: Solexious, with sound ping and blinking for 5 seconds:
-'''STX'''A'''ETB'''1'''ETB'''1'''ETB'''5'''ETB'''Ping: Solexious'''EOT'''
-====Message slots====
-* 0 - Current Number of users in #london-hack-space
-* 1 - Temperature/Humidity
-* 2 - Now Playing
-* 3 - suggestion: info on tube delays, i.e. http://api.tubeupdates.com/?method=get.status where status != 'good service' (docs at http://tubeupdates.com/documentation/) --[[User:AndyE|AndyE]] 22:39, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

-:: TfL API (beta) docs [http://data.london.gov.uk/apibeta] [http://data.london.gov.uk/documents/apibeta-trackernet-services-guide.pdf] (p13) but seems to be currently offline [http://data.london.gov.uk/blog/update-trackernet-feed].
-* 4 -
-* 5 -
-====Sounds====
-* 0 - None
-* 1 - PING.WAV
-==Feature Requests==
-* Dynamic font loading
-* Individual pixel mapping
-* <strike>Scrolling to allow for longer messages</strike>
-* A fortune/motd feature - when the board has been unchanged for a while, display a random message from a file, e.g. 'clean up your own mess', 'shut the fire door when you leave' or 'do not leave the chuck key in the lathe'.
