Amazing news to see this! I made a Homemade Sports Ticker using a Model B almost 1.5 years ago and its still going strong.
Here's a couple of links:
* Blog post: https://medium.com/@mikemetral/a-homemade-sports-ticker-875c73a5339 https://medium.com/@mikemetral/a-homemade-sports-ticker-875c...
* Code to write to LED Sign: https://github.com/metral/led_sign https://github.com/metral/led_sign
* Code to pull the scores: https://github.com/metral/scores https://github.com/metral/scores
* The LED sign itself: http://brightledsigns.com/programmable/indoor/bs-4x16-mini http://brightledsigns.com/programmable/indoor/bs-4x16-mini
Fair Warning: I haven't touched the code in over a year so it's not maintained. If I were to do things today, I'd probably switch to Go to make the score requests a bit more streamlined than the single synchronous process I have now, and I would throw it into a container as the #1 request I get is people struggling to install both the code base and the dependencies.
Happy Hacking!
- prokes 11y agoThat's cool man, I'm sure you're friend was stoked. Props on the write up. I've got an old monitor I want to connect to the Pi, just not sure what info is worth displaying yet.
