G+_Ryan Edwards Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Project idea... I'd love a home sports score ticker. I'd figure using a led sign board and a raspberry pi would be a good start. Using it for sports scores, stocks, news etc...Would be cool. What do you guys think? Has it already been done? If so please teach me the way. Have a great day everyone.

G+_David Wiggins Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I love the idea of a home news ticker. Weather, news, sports scores, maybe alerts from a specific calendar? I think I'm going overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ryan Edwards Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 You are on the right track though. Something that could be customized to a degree.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ryan Edwards Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Maybe using IFTTT as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Glenn Higgs Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Maybe something like this? Maybe a RSS ticket so you wouldn't be limited to just sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jim Hofmann Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 What's your criteria? How big? I know there are weather sites that have API's to grab weather info. Are there sports sites that have API's? News sites? Kool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ryan Edwards Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'd like a led sign board a couple feet wide or more that I could have a scrolling line of text with live sports scores. Like what you'd see at a sports bar or stadium/arena. Clearly much smaller for home use. There are services to buy/rent this but they are sooooooooo expensive. But seeing as the info is free and readily available on numerous sites it's trying to find a way to get it on a led ticker board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
