Controlling the REV MXP digit board in java?

[The Doctor]

Our team got one of these (http://www.revrobotics.com/product/digit-mxp-display/) for configuring the robot this year, and when it arrived, I was surprised to find that there was no existing Java library for it. I found an Arduino library (https://github.com/kachok/arduino-libraries/tree/master/Adafruit_LEDBackpack) for controlling a similar board (well the same chip anyway), but I don't really have the time this season to write and test a Java library from scratch.

So my question: is there something I missed? Is there actually a Java library for the REV digit board?

Thanks for giving the Digit a try!

Team 1493 has created a Java library, mentioned in this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142054

The LabVIEW code that we link to on the Digit page (http://www.revrobotics.com/product/digit-mxp-display) should also be a good starting point since the API calls should be very similar.
