nhl-led-scoreboard VS sports

The NHL has an API also for example. So an example of how you could use that is this project https://github.com/riffnshred/nhl-led-scoreboard. I have this scoreboard running in my living room. The computer powering the scoreboard is constantly asking the NHL API "hey what's the score of the wings game" and "who scored" and a bunch of other things. The NHL API returns that data to my computer and then my computer renders that information in a scoreboard.

I used the NHL Scoreboard Library with an adafruit RGB shield connect to the GPIO pins. The NHL library uses the API directly from the NHL app so the scores are basically updated instantly. Everything was built on an existing MLB library designed to do the same thing. The library supports the 32x64 matrix out of the box so there’s nothing fancy I had to do there.

So I actually have one of these: https://github.com/riffnshred/nhl-led-scoreboard, and I just added my own script for when a goal is scored.

Thanks! I made the scoreboard myself, using this.

I bought the supplies and built it using the guide here https://github.com/riffnshred/nhl-led-scoreboard

For those interested in MLB or NHL versions of something similar, it's not too difficult with a bit of Linux knowledge. I used the hardware the MLB version suggested and loaded both MLB and NHL software on my Pi to switch between the two. There are apparently Premier League, NBA and NFL versions as well though I've not yet tried either (I'll be trying NFL and Premier League in a few months though).

I just released a new version that tweaks some things for 32x32. You can update it by just running the command to install again (https://github.com/robbydyer/sports#installation). You will also need to clear the logo cache. You can do that by just rebooting the Pi, or by running: `sudo rm -rf /tmp/sportsmatrix_logos && sudo systemctl restart sportsmatrix`
