This project works in conjunction with a Raspberry Pi and some RGB LED matrix displays to display up-to-date follower/like/subscriber counts for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Great to hang on the wall in your office, studio or shop front and a fun way to help you grow your brand's following.
The 64x16 display shows a pixel-perfect copy of the top-left region of the display, which is generated by this code.
The setup uses Adafruit's rpi-fb-matrix (see here) which in turn uses hzeller's rpi-rgb-led-matrix library.
A full tutorial is coming soon in an upcoming edition of HackSpace Magazine so watch this space :-)
