Tracks BTC price and block height (when a new block is mined) and displays output to a screen
Works on Raspbian, with Raspberry Pi 7" touchcreen LED Display
In 'Install/' directory:
./Install.shThis will create a script to launch the application on Desktop, write API key to file and install pip dependencies
The installation will create a btc_tracker.sh script on Desktop, which can be double-clicked to launch.
Configuration files can be found in 'Configs/'
'config_pi.py' will be used for Raspberry Pi Platform, these values can be modified but may cause adverse effects
'update_time = 60' The API call frequency is set to every 60 seconds in the configs, this can be adjusted (Note that 10,000 monthly calls are allowed by coinmarketcap api free tier - update which will display used credits coming)
'api_key.py' in Configs/ will store the coinmarketcap API key for obtaining BTC price, this can be pre-provided in the format:
api_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"OR will be generated by the install script when the user enters an API key
