{{
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
