scoreboard

Scoreboard script for showing active sports I like.

Equipment

I have a small setup to make this work, all specs found below

Setup

Install Python, Python build tools & build rpi-rgb-led-matrix from source or install it via pip
Clone this repository
Install requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt
Download logos using the download_logos.py Python script
Run scoreboard.py Python script

This runs as a systemd service on my Pi, with the following configuration

[Unit]
Description=Scoreboard Script
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 scoreboard.py
KillSignal=SIGINT
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/Documents/scoreboard
Restart=always
User=pi

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Make usre to update paths accordingly.

Adding more leagues/teams

Simply add the league & sport to the get_all_scores() function in scoreboard.py. These should be relatively self-explanitory knowing the league name/sport name.

Make sure you get logos as well, doing the same in download_logos.py and running the script again.

Govee Lighting

If you have Govee lighting you want to setup for celebrations, create a .env file and complete the arguments in the template file.
