+description: "a circuitpython script to show rss feeds from miniflux, the weather from wtt.in and the time using aio"
+---
+
+{{<figure src="/img/rssmatrix.gif" alt="colorful scrolling text on an led matrix display, showing rss feed weather and time">}}
+
+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](https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/?3#paradise)
+very nice and blocky with cool serifs
+
+## using it yourself
+
+- install circuitpython on your matrixportal
+- clone the [git repo](https://git.kittycat.homes/zoe/rssmatrix.git)
+- 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
