Desktop Buddy is an open-source platform for displaying custom modules on a 32x32 LED matrix running on a Raspberry Pi.
This is not a finished project. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about setup.
Things you will need to get started:
- Raspberry Pi with Wi-Fi
- 32 x 32 LED Matrix
- I'm using this model from Adafruit
- Adafruit RGB Matrix HAT + RTC for Raspberry Pi or equivalent
- Amazon Web Services account
- Follow these steps to get your matrix up and running if you're using the Adafruit Matrix HAT listed above.
- Clone this repository to your Raspberry Pi
git clone https://github.com/oct0f1sh/DesktopBuddy
- Set up a new AWS IoT Thing, download the certificates, and edit the paths of the
endpoint,root_ca_path,certificate_path, andprivate_key_pathstrings inaws_service.pyto your new values.
Navigate to the directory that you cloned the project and run the aws_service.py file.
