vestaboard

Read and write messages on a Vestaboard using the Vestaboard Cloud API (cloud.vestaboard.com) and optional legacy RW endpoint. Use when asked to display text on a Vestaboard, update a sign/board, show a short status message, render simple pixel-art using color/filled character codes, or retrieve the current board message.

Text input is formatted to 6x22 by default (uppercase + word wrap; truncates overflow).

# Preview formatting only
node scripts/vb.js preview "Hello from Quarterbridge Farm"

# Write a numeric layout (6x22 array of character codes)
