Writing multiple rows to an 1.2" Mono OLED

Discussion Raspberry Pi
1

Evening,
I’m trying to write multiple rows to the Mono OLED Breakout.

I have this script which scrapes a webpage and returns two rows of times.


from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

# Page url to scrape
url ='https://www.buses.co.uk/stops/149000006645'

# Fetch the content from url
page = requests.get(url, timeout=5)

# Parse html
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, "html.parser")

# Extract the html element where the next times expected are stored
for bus_deps in soup.findAll('div', attrs={"class":"single-visit__time single-visit__time--expected"}):
        print bus_deps.text.strip()
        continue

It works fine when executing the python from the terminal.

What I want to do is write both of those rows to the OLED.

Here is my (almost working code).

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# General
import os
import time

# For the scraping
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

# For the oled
from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageFont
from PIL import ImageDraw
from threading import Thread
from luma.core.interface.serial import i2c
from luma.core.render import canvas
from luma.oled.device import sh1106

# Set up OLED
oled = sh1106(i2c(port=1, address=0x3C), rotate=2, height=128, width=128)

# Load fonts
rr_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'fonts', 'Roboto-Regular.ttf'))
rb_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'fonts', 'Roboto-Black.ttf'))
rr_12 = ImageFont.truetype(rr_path, 12)
rr_24 = ImageFont.truetype(rr_path, 24)

# The main loop that writes to the OLED
while True:
    # Page url to scrape
    url ='https://www.buses.co.uk/stops/149000006645'

    # Fetch the content from url
    page = requests.get(url, timeout=5)

    # Parse html
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, "html.parser")

    # Extract the html element where the next times expected are stored
    for bus_times in soup.findAll('div', attrs={"class":"single-visit__time single-visit__time--expected"}):
            bus_deps = bus_times.text.strip()

    # Start to draw to the display
    background = Image.open("/home/simon/Dev/Raspi/busses/images/bus.png").convert(oled.mode)
    draw = ImageDraw.ImageDraw(background)

    # Draw the top line
    draw.rectangle([(0, 0), (128, 20)], fill="black")
    draw.line([(0, 20), (128, 20)], fill="white")

    # Draw the text
    draw.rectangle([(0, 108), (128, 128)], fill="black")
    draw.text((10, 40), "The next bus is in", fill="white", font=rr_12)
    draw.text((20, 60), bus_deps, fill="white", font=rr_24)

    # Draw the bottom line
    draw.rectangle([(0, 108), (128, 128)], fill="black")
    draw.line([(0, 108), (128, 108)], fill="white")

    # Display on the OLED
    oled.display(background)
    time.sleep(0.05)

The error is around here I think, but I’m a bit stuck on getting the python to loop through the rows to be written to the display.

# Draw the text
draw.rectangle([(0, 108), (128, 128)], fill="black")
draw.text((10, 40), "The next bus is in", fill="white", font=rr_12)
draw.text((20, 60), bus_deps, fill="white", font=rr_24)

Any help or pointers greatly appreciated, and if anyone thinks I’ve missed any important stuff out, kindly let me know.

Cheers,

Simon.
