Smart Dashboard

This project is a interactive dashboard built on a Raspberry Pi. It integrates a 64x32 RGB LED Matrix and a PiTFT touchscreen to create a smart display that allows you to control Spotify, check the weather, and draw pixel art in real-time.

Features

The system features a main Home Screen that displays the date, time, and a greeting, along with a menu to navigate between three main applications:

1. 🎵 Spotify Player

   • Control: Play, Pause, Skip, and Previous tracks directly from the touchscreen.
   • Display: Shows the current track name, artist, and album art on the LED matrix.
   • Backend: Uses the Spotify API to fetch real-time playback data.

2. 🎨 Scribble

   • Interactive Drawing: Draw on the PiTFT touchscreen using a color palette.
   • Real-time Sync: Your drawing is instantly mapped and displayed on the 64x32 LED Matrix.
   • Save: Ability to save your creations.

3. ☁️ Weather Station

   • Live Data: Displays current weather conditions, temperature, and humidity.
   • Visuals: Animated GIFs (sun, rain, snow, clouds) on the LED matrix representing the current weather.
   • Sun Cycle: Shows Sunrise or Sunset times based on the time of day.

🛠️ Hardware Requirements

• Raspberry Pi (3B+ or 4 recommended)
• RGB LED Matrix (64x32) & Bonnet/HAT
• PiTFT Touchscreen (320x240)
• Power Supply (Adequate power for both Pi and Matrix)

📦 Software Dependencies
