Clone the repository:\n   ```bash\n   sudo apt install -y git\n   git clone https://github.com/frogCaller/e-ink-ticker.git\n   cd e-ink-ticker\n\n# Wiring and Setup\n1. **Connect 2.13inch e-Ink HAT to Raspberry Pi:**\n   - Connect the 2.13inch e-Ink HAT to your Raspberry Pi. \u003cbr /\u003e\n   - Connect the UPS Hat for continuous power supply. This will allow you to move the project anywhere without worrying about power interruptions.\n\n2. **Install System and Python Dependencies:**\n   ```bash\n   chmod +x setup.sh\n   ./setup.sh\n  \n# Usage\nRun the script:\n   ```\n   python3 ticker.py\n   ```\n\n# How It Works\n  - The script fetches cryptocurrency prices and 7-day historical data from the CoinGecko API every 5 minutes.\n  - The data is displayed on the e-Ink screen, refreshing every 20 seconds.\n  - The y-axis scale of the graphs is adjusted based on the lowest and highest prices of the week.\n\n# Troubleshooting\nCommon Issues:\n   - Ensure SPI \u0026 I2C are enabled in the Raspberry Pi configuration.\n   - Check all connections if the screen does not display anything.\n   - Verify all required packages are installed correctly.\n   - [More Info](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.13inch_e-Paper_HAT_Manual)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FfrogCaller%2Fe-ink-ticker","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FfrogCaller%2Fe-ink-ticker","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FfrogCaller%2Fe-ink-ticker/lists"}
