Usage

  • to pair a display, it has to be really really close (touching the adapter with left edge)
  • when the display "checks in", it will check the presence of <DISPLAY_MAC>.bmp(24bit With RED) or <DISPLAY_MAC>.png(Only Black White) in current dir, convert it to bmp and send to display
    • if the image doesn't change, the display will stay as is and checks back again in defined interval (checkinDelay)
