The goal is to use Processing as a scripting environment to create graphics and display output on a custom display device that is something like an LED panel. The server on which the program is running will be on a 1U rack. The idea is that all the elements of the LEDs are customizable equipment, but instead of reinventing the wheel, it’s better to use the existing stack to control the display. The problem is getting java to display on this device.
My initial thoughts: 1. Run Java in silent mode. 2. Use Xvbf as a framebuffer. 3. Run a program that reads the framebuffer, unpacks it and displays it on the remote device at a speed of 30 frames per second. 4. Use processing scripts to generate graphics.
It makes sense? Is there a better way? I'm not so knowledgeable about this area, but it seems better than trying to create a new java.awt.
