ScrollPhat HD and Twitter problems

JimM · December 4, 2017, 4:39pm

Hi folks

I’ve setup the following Twitter hashtag code courtesy of @mrglennjones et al (Pi Zero W):

pimoroni/scroll-phat-hd/blob/master/examples/twitter-hashtag.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

# made by @mrglennjones with help from @pimoroni & pb

import time
import unicodedata
try:
    import queue
except ImportError:
    import Queue as queue
from sys import exit

try:
    import tweepy
except ImportError:
    exit("This script requires the tweepy module\nInstall with: sudo pip install tweepy")

import scrollphathd
from scrollphathd.fonts import font5x7

This file has been truncated. show original

And have entered all my keys etc.

On opening it however and then running, NOTHING happens at all - it only shows:

%cd /home/pi/Desktop
%Run twitter-hashtag.py

Not quite sure what I’m doing wrong so grateful for any pointers!

Thanks,

Jim

Sorted!

Did the following…

git clone http://github.com/pimoroni/scroll-phat-hd -b devel scroll-phat-hd-devel
cd scroll-phat-hd-devel/library
sudo python ./setup.py install

Hi Jim, I tried this but still have a blank scrollphatHD - if I write various print lines I can see that it is getting tweets - but just never seems to show them - any ideas?

When i followed your instructions it all seemed to work - but in the new devel folder there isn’t a twitter example…

any thoughts/suggestions much apprechiated!!
