I thought about adding a thread to the backend to do this, but figured it would be better to have a separate processes that asks the backend for the info. First by doing it this way we can have multiple LED boxes (one for each frontend). Also I wanted to have the ability for the box to detect if the backend is ever unavailable.

I have not a really clear picture about how the front- and backends communicate, but if we use the TCP/IP connection the backend would have the unavailability option already (asynchronous socket error), plus it will solve most of the protocol questions. You could also choose to run a secundary protocol on onother port.
