Python library for 1990s AT&T Attendant Console

I found this attendant console in a thrift store in San Francisco for $4. It is covered with LEDs and buttons, and has a very high build quality. I thought about how hard it would be to make something similar today (with just the cost of LEDs and buttons), and decided to pick it up for a later project.

This repository is the result of my reverse engineering of the ATT26A hardware/firmware and includes:

  * Documentation of the hardware.
  * Documentation of the wire protocol.
  * Python library for driving the panel.
  * Example programs for using the python library.

These Attendant Consoles can be found on ebay for around $25 (at the time of writing). If you are into unusual display interfaces, pick one up and see what you can do.

New examples, patches, and new language bindings welcome.

Happy hacking!
