LCD Rolling Display

[alatham85]

Hi Guys

I know this may be a long shot but I was hoping to create a little project that allows me to display my favourite football teams upcoming fixtures and live in play scores on a little LCD screen but not sure how to get started or what I would need and which language to write the programme in any advice would be most welcome thank you in advance.

[alphanumeric]

How big a display? There is this, https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/unicorn-hat or something like this maybe, https://www.adafruit.com/products/420 Those are LED though. May be easier to see than LCD though. I have a scrolling display on my sense hats 8x8 LED matrix. It's very easy to see and read.

Well, if you do it in python, i have some code that can get football scores for you.

I would most likely go with the LED screen and if you could point me in the right direction of the python code that would be great thank you in advance.

Adafruit have tutorials for most of the products they sell. Stuff like this, https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi ... ix-display They sell a lot of Arduino stuff too so sometimes that's all that's mentioned in the tutorial and you have to port it over to run on a Pi. Pimoroni does the same thing for its products and supplies python libraries and test code etc. Poke around in each sites learn section and you may get some ideas and a direction to follow.

So, a while a go I wrote a python module that scraped the BBC website for football scores. There's a version of the module here.

You'll need to make sure you've also installed the BeautifulSoup module.

At it's most basic, you can do something like this for football match:

Code: Select all

>>> from footballscores import FootballMatch
>>> a=FootballMatch("Osasuna", detailed=True)
>>> print a
Osasuna 1-5 Athletic Bilbao (FT)
>>> print a.PrintDetail
(FT) Osasuna 1-5 Athletic Bilbao (Osasuna: E.Armenteros (10') - Athletic Bilbao: M.Susaeta (3'), A.Aduriz (16', 62'), I.G贸mez (84'), E.Sola Clemente (88'))
>>> a.HomeScorers
[(u'E.Armenteros', [u"10'"])]
>>> a.AwayScorers
[(u'M.Susaeta', [u"3'"]), (u'A.Aduriz', [u"16'", u"62'"]), (u'I.G\u8d38mez', [u"84'"]), (u'E.Sola Clemente', [u"88'"])]
>>> a.HomeYellowCards
[(u'J.Loties', [u"21'"]), (u'F.Silva', [u"47'"]), (u'Acu\u5e3da', [u"65'"]), (u'A.Arribas', [u"71'"])]
>>> a.AwayYellowCards
[(u'A.Iturraspe', [u"19'"]), (u'A.Aduriz', [u"27'"]), (u'C.Gurpegi', [u"51'"]), (u'M.Balenziaga', [u"72'"])]
>>> a.HomeRedCards
[(u'A.Arribas', [u"76'"])]
>>> a.AwayRedCards
[]
>>> a.MatchTime
'FT'

Fixtures are a bit more experimental. At the moment, you can just do fixtures by league/competition rather than club. There's a Fixtures class which you can use. I can give you some example code over the weekend as I don't have any to hand.

[elParaguayo]

Ok. So Fixtures currently work like this

Code: Select all

In [1]: import footballscores

In [2]: fix = footballscores.Fixtures()

In [3]: fix.getCompetitions()    ## <-- This lists the available competitions and their ID
Out[3]:

>>> a.HomeRedCards

'FT'

Fixtures are a bit more experimental. At the moment, you can just do fixtures by league/competition rather than club. There's a Fixtures class which you can use. I can give you some example code over the weekend as I don't have any to hand.

Love the idea of this but have no idea how to install/make it work, checked your git and no instructions for the newb that i am.

Easiest way to use it: Copy that code into a new file called footballscores.py and put it in the same folder as your python script.

Thing is i have no python script at all, what script would run this just for this ?

Then forget the football scores for the moment. Find a display that you want to use and then work out how to display basic text on it with python. Only then should you start thinking about what text you want to show.
