+ +

this is a circuitpython script for an adafruit matrix portal m4 and a 64x32 led matrix display +it can display rss feeds from miniflux, the weather from wttr.in and the time using aio

+

i like looking at it since it’s nice and blinky but have to turn it off sometimes because it’s also very distracting

+

finding a font for it was very weird. +first i tried the pico8 font, but that was honestly a bit too big and also used too much power for running it from a usb 2.0 port +but then i found a website with a bunch of retro fonts and the paradise systems one just kinda spoke to me +very nice and blocky with cool serifs

+

+ +  using it yourself + +

+
    +
  • install circuitpython on your matrixportal
  • +
  • clone the git repo
  • +
  • fill out the secrets.py file with your data
  • +
  • copy the contents of the git repo onto your matrixportal
  • +
  • plug in
  • +
+

if you want to use a different microcontroller or display u can probably figure out what to do yourself or write your own script
