goodreads-quotes-raspberry-pi

What this widget does

  • Displays quotes scrapped from goodreads using a Raspberry Pi Zero and a Bonnet Keyboard
  • This widget scrapes different quotes from goodreads using this web scrapper and displays them on the Bonnet LED
  • Additionally the quotes can be changed using a user defined time interval.

Setup

  1. Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/abhinuvpitale/goodreads-quotes-raspberry-pi.git

  1. Create json file of different quotes using the web spider from here

  2. run raspiQuotes.py 100 to start the display with quotes changing every 100 seconds.

python raspiQuotes.py 100

Additional Goals

Rolling display

This has been implemented by skshetty

Using Dataplicity to get remote access

This is pretty useful as you can then create a configurable gift for someone or access the code remotely to add more quotes! The Dataplicity lets you create a remote header-less login over web. I found it super useful to implement my code on desktop and then push it to the pi using this headerless login.

The instructions for the same are here
