    Flip-dot display over RS485 over USB over TCP over SSH over PTY over HTTP. With a dash of RTSP.

    (I wrote a little web server to control @hswaw's flip-dot more easily, hacking on it from home with the help of video streaming)

    This screen recording shows a number of unix shells as well as a live stream of a flip-dot display. Some terminals establish the required RS485 and video tunnels, then a web server driving the flip dot is started, and then this HTTP requests are made to it using curl. This displays a sequence of images on the flip dot, and eventually another request clears it.
