hi Phil, many thanks for your input.
it can be asynchronous! but that’s set to false at the moment, http://docs.tweepy.org/en/v3.4.0/streaming_how_to.html as per sandys tutorial.
your FIFO suggestion looks ideal, this is just what i think it needs! i will take a look into implementing this soon but i’m afraid my time over the next couple of weeks is taken up designing various print works.
theres some strange quirks with the program which seem to freeze the system/scroller momentarily but now with the HD supported at least its heading in the right direction :)
That’s a really nice, and well architected (in my humble opinion anyway) example. Are you up for submitting it in a PR to the Scroll pHAT HD GitHub repo?
How do you find font5x7smoothed? I never used it in an example since I thought it looked terrible, but it might fare better when scrolling.
hi phil thanks, sure thing! the smoothed font is ok scrolling but the normal one is clearer for most uses imo… i was just trying it out really!
ill submit it as soon as i work out how to do that! :)
ok forked the pimoroni scroll-phat-hd repo then added my hashtagtoscrollphathd.py file to examples. unsure if this is correct and i
also need to add some comments :)
same here, I have been trying all sorts
checking my keys and Tokens, different keywords, checking for possible case sensitive issues. but nothing has worked.
I ultimately want to change the code to scroll every Twitter notification I get "including RT’s " but If I cant even get this working its not looking hopeful. lol
Firstly, massive thanks for making this script. I spent so long tinkering about trying to make my own and yours worked first time!
I was just wondering if there is something simple I could add into the code so it scrolled the last message found on repeat until a new message is received. I was hoping to use it like a notifications board but unless someone happens to be there when I send the tweet all they would see is a blank screen.
I had the same problem and spent some time trying out changes to the code. At the end what worked is changing the font from “font5x7smoothed” to “font5x7”.
