BiblePi

A Python Program for Playing the New Testament on a Raspberry Pi

PyUp PyUp

What is it

A simple python program to read a random book from the New Testament (KJV) to you and your family. The program is based on the easygui package by Robert Lugg and the popular VLC package. You have the option of setting a timer to read for a given interval (great to put you or your kids to sleep), or to freeplay until you pause or stop the player.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/bradlindblad/biblepi

Then install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Hardware

The idea is to have a small computer to simply read the bible to you whenever you want. I installed Ubuntu Mate 18.04 personally onto a Raspberry Pi3. I found it very difficult to get audio output working with the Raspbian Buster image, which is why I would recommend Ubuntu Mate.

I attached a 5" touchscreen to the Pi for a simply interface to the program, which works flawlessly.

Usage

Making sure you are in the root of the directory, run:

python3 main.py

If you're on Windows, run

python main.py
