Pixoo Banano

A simple proof-of-concept for my Pixoo 64 library.

It displays relevant information for the amazing Banano coin. It’ll also show your current [email protected] stats (because you’re likely folding for Bananos!)

Installation

Simply install the required dependencies via PIP. Navigate to the directory where you placed the code. Then execute:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

And then create a .env file in this same directory (notice the leading ‘.’). This file is used to configure the application.

Inside, place:

FAH_USER_ID=501878621
PIXOO_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.137
TIMEOUT=3600

Note that FAH_USER_ID should be set to your own user id. If you don’t know your user id, you can find it by looking for your username here: https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor

The number behind your donor name is your user id. If you click your stats, it’ll take you your donor page and the user id will be the number at the end of the url (e.g. https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/501878621)

The PIXOO_IP_ADDRESS should be set to the local IP address of your Divoom Pixoo 64.

The TIMEOUT is how many seconds the application will wait before updating the stats. I’ve given 3600 as an example, which basically means once per hour.

If you like to fiddle with the code, you could also remove the loop and set a cronjob to ease the load on your CPU slightly.

Getting started

This project is made for python 3.x so to be sure you’re running the correct version (Mac for example, comes with Python 2 installed by default) execute the following command from the directory you placed the project:
