Send A Message To An LED Sign

An anonymous reader submits "I just got a Pro Lite LED sign today. After a few minutes splicing and wiring up a DB9 to RJ11 connection, and a little fun with python, I've got a script that lets me take input from the web and display it on the sign. Eventually it will have other, more useful, purposes, but I figured I'd let you guys play with it as it is. There's also a log of past messages."

    Achtung, alle Slassendotters!
    Das sign is nicht für goatse und first posten. Ist easy timeouts zu generieren, kracking und Distributed Service denichten! Das anonymen kauards standen from keywerk back, ist to post comments to polls. Die palen geeks going heraus in sunlight and girls meeting. Alle relaxen, while blinkenlights sowjetrussen watschen.
