I made a welcome sign to my basement using a pi4, a webcam, and a bunch of python script.

  • Face Recognition

    The world's simplest facial recognition api for Python and the command line

    What is happening is the webcam is constantly watching for faces using the face_recognition library. When it finds a face it fires off a video (no audio) using the rpi-rgb-led-matrix library!

  • JokeAPI-Python

    An API Wrapper for Sv443's JokeAPI

    Also, one of the "generic" videos it downloads a pun from this jokeapi and scrolls it across the screen. This one takes too long and I might remove it. Plus the jokes are getting old fast.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
