🚀 tinyticker 🚀
tinyticker uses a Raspberry Pi zero W and a small ePaper display to periodically display a stock or crypto chart.
A flask web interface is created to set the ticker options and control the Raspberry Pi.
tinyticker uses the cryptocompare API to query the crypto price information, you'll need to get yourself a free API key. As well as the yfinance package to get the stock financial data.

I highly recommend using comitup to setup the networking on your RPi.
-
Write the
comitupimage to your sd card -
Boot up the RPi and setup the networking
-
ssh into your RPi, you'll probably want to change the password while you're at it
-
Enable the SPI interface
-
(Optional) rename the hostname of your RPi by editing the
/etc/hostnameand/etc/hostsfile -
(Optional) rename the Wifi AP name by editing the
/etc/comitup.conffile -
