The script periodically (every 5 mins by default) takes data from CoinGecko and prints a summary to the ePaper. You can specify the exchange used for price info, as well as the currencies that your chosen coin's prices are in. A few minutes work gives you a desk ornament that will tastefully and unobtrusively monitor a coin's journey moonward. (supports all coins/currencies/exchanges listed on CoinGecko) Getting started Prerequisites (These instructions assume that your Raspberry Pi is already connected to the Internet, happily running pip and has python3 installed). It also is set up to work for the V1 Waveshare 2.7in ePaper. If you are using V2 then see the note in btcticker.py about switching to V2. If you are running the Pi headless, connect to your Raspberry Pi using ssh . Connect to your ticker over ssh and update and install necessary packages Enable spi (0=on 1=off) Now clone the required software (Waveshare libraries and this script) Move to the btcticker directory, copy the example config to config.yaml and move the required part of the waveshare directory to the btcticker directory Install the required Python3 modules Add Autostart Note that this assumes your user is ' pi '. If it isn't, change all occurences of pi to your user name . Now, simply enable the service you just made and reboot Con","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/veebch","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/veebch/btcticker/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
