NAME

       sense_play - Sense HAT emulator playback

       Replays  readings  recorded  from  a  Raspberry  Pi Sense HAT, via the Sense HAT emulation
       library.

SYNOPSIS

          sense_play [-h] [--version] [-q] [-v] [-l FILE] [-P] input

DESCRIPTION

       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       --version
              show this program's version number and exit

       -q, --quiet
              produce less console output

       -v, --verbose
              produce more console output

       -l FILE, --log-file FILE
              log messages to the specified file

       -P, --pdb
              run under PDB (debug mode)

EXAMPLES

       To play back an experiment recorded from the Sense HAT, simply execute sense_play with the
       filename you wish to play back:

          $ sense_play experiment.hat

       Playback  will  start  immediately and continue in real-time (at the recording rate) until
       the file is exhausted. If you wish to start  an  emulated  script  at  the  same  time  as
       playback, you can use the shell's job control facilities:

          $ sense_play experiment.hat & python experiment.py

       If - is specified as the input file, sense_play will read its from stdin. This can be used
       to play back compressed recordings (see Examples under sense_rec) without using  any  disk
       space for decompression:

          $ gunzip -c experiment.hat.gz | sense_play -

       NOTE:
          If  playback  is going too slowly (e.g. because the Pi is too busy with other tasks, or
          because the data cannot be read quickly enough from the SD card), sense_play will  skip
          records  and  print  a warning to the console at the end of playback with the number of
          records skipped.
