The PHP Led Sign API

This is quick introduction for getting started with the library. Basic knowledge of PHP is assumed.

Note: 1 and 2 apply only to a new sign. If your sign has been in use, you need to figure out the ip address of the sign with the Sigma software.

1. Download the library zip and extract it into a folder inside your webroot.
2. Connect a computer to the sign with an Ethernet cable.
3. Turn the sign on. Write down the ip address that appears
   on the sign.
4. Open the file initialize.php, and change the ip address to the ip address of the sign.

<?
 
require_once('LedSign.php');
 
$ledSign = new LedSign('192.168.0.213'); // change ip address here
$ledSign->initialize();
 
?>

5. Run the script initialize.php. You can do this from the command line or by pointing your browser to the script.
6. On the led sign, the text “init ok” should now appear.
7. Open the script hello.php and change the ip address to the ip address of your sign.

<?
 
require_once('LedSign.php');
 
$ledSign = new LedSign('192.168.0.213'); // change ip address here
$ledSign->setText("Hello World");
 
?>

8. The text “Hello World” should now appear.
