Description
The project has a Python 3 program that reads data from a Linux FIFO file and prints them to Sense HAT’s LED display. Reading from normal file or other device file is also supported.

Usage
The project works only on Raspberry Pi with attached Sense HAT and installed Python. It was tested on Raspberry Pi 3, but it should also works on other versions of Raspberry Pi.
First, you should clone the project:
git clone https://github.com/filips123/SenseOUT.git # Clone the project
cd SenseOUT # Go to project directory
Then you should create a new Linux FIFO file:
mkfifo sensehat # Create a new FIFO file
The default input file is sensehat. To change it, pass file name as first program argument:
python3 handler.py /path/to/file # Use custom file
You could run the program in the background:
python3 handler.py & # Run the program in the background
Then you could write data to the file and they will be displayed on Sense HAT’s LED display:
echo "ABC" > sensehat # Display output only on Sense HAT’s LED display
# OR #
echo "ABC" | tee sensehat # Display output on Sense HAT’s LED and in terminal
You could also display commands outputs, but you shouldn't use the commands with a lot of output:
ls | tee sensehat # Display content of directory on Sense HAT’s LED and in terminal
