"At the lowest level is a Python server running on my machine. Yes, this isn't persistent and not stable, but who cares. The server handles accepting a string to display and rendering it on the Pixoo: from http.server import ThreadingHTTPServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qs from pixoo_ng import Pixoo, Channel from pixoo_ng.config import PixooConfig import time"
"class Handler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): def do_GET(self): if self.path == '/favicon.ico': self.send_response(404) self.end_headers() return query = parse_qs(urlparse(self.path).query) input_text = (query.get('input', [''])[0]).strip() if not input_text: self.send_response(400) self.end_headers() self.wfile.write(b"Missing 'input' query parameter") return"
"def split_string(text: str, max_chars: int) -> list[str]: """Split a string into chunks of up to max_chars characters, without breaking words.""" words = text.split() chunks = [] current = "" for word in words: if not current: current = word elif len(current) + 1 + len(word) <= max_chars: current += " " + word else: chunks.append(current) current = word if current: chunks.append(current) return chunks"
A Pixoo64 pixel art frame can display images, clock faces, and other content through an app, and it also provides an API for changing what appears on the screen. A Python server runs locally to receive an input string through an HTTP GET request. The server parses the query parameters, validates that an input value exists, and returns an error when it is missing. The input string is split into smaller chunks to fit the frame’s character limits without breaking words. The server then uses the Pixoo API to render the text on the device, enabling messages to be sent to the frame over the local network.
