Designed to display photos synced from a Google Photos album on a touchscreen display. Created for Christmas 2023 as a gift for my ~~fiance~~ wife and father.\n\n## Key Features\n- **Photo Synchronization**: Integrates with Google Photos API to sync photos.\n- **Interactive UI**: Navigate through photos with touch gestures.\n- **Weather and Time Display**: Fetches and shows current weather and time.\n- **Automatic Updates**: Periodically syncs new photos and deletes old ones.\n\n## Initial Setup\n1. **Install Python**: Ensure Python \u003e=3.9 is installed on your Raspberry Pi.\n2. **Install Dependencies**:\n   ```bash\n   pip install -r requirements.txt\n   ```\n3. **Configure API and Local Settings**:\n   - Create a `config.json` with keys like `api_service_name`, `api_version`, `scopes`, `local_folder`, and `album_id`.\n   - Save your Google API credentials in `client_secret.json`.\n     - [Get started w/ the Google API](https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/get-started)\n\n## Running the Application\n1. **Initial Photo Population**:\n   - Run `sync_photos.py` initially to populate your local folder with photos from the specified Google Photos album.\n   ```bash\n   python sync_photos.py\n   ```\n2. **Start the Photo Display**:\n   - After the initial setup, use `run_photo_display.py` to handle photo synchronization and display.\n   ```bash\n   python run_photo_display.py\n   ```\n\n## Notes\n- The script uses the pickle module for saving and loading Google Photos client credentials.\n- For new installations or invalid credentials, a login window will prompt you for authentication.\n\n## Run as a Service\n- A sample `.service` file is provided in `/services` for configuring the app to run with `systemctl`.\n\n## License\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftyler-tee%2Fdigital-photo-frame","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftyler-tee%2Fdigital-photo-frame","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftyler-tee%2Fdigital-photo-frame/lists"}
