note: the raw data shown in the terminal app above isn't indicative of actual values - this was just for testing with literal 0, 1 and 2 (0 light, 1 dark, 2 transparent). These are actually 0x0, 0x1, 0x2 respectively.
This emulator was written to allow programmers the opportunity to code maestro 'FlipApps' without needing to purchase the maestro system or any hardware. This client+server pair follows the FlipDots Maestro protocol, handling the OpCodes provided in the protocol specification, providing a system that will behave in the exact manner of the real hardware implementation.
