# Twitch notification system for Arduino

This script takes the specified Twitch user's followed channels, and notifies the user through an LCD screen connected to an Arduino if a channel goes live.

Written in **Python 3**.

Before running the script, make sure to fill in the required fields in the config.py file:

* **CLIENT_ID** *string* The client ID for your application. You can get one [here](https://dev.twitch.tv/dashboard/apps/create).

* **OAUTH_ID** *string* Your OAuth token.

* **USERNAME** *string* Your Twitch username.

* **SERIAL_PORT** *string* The serial port the Arduino is connected to.

* **BAUD_RATE** *integer* Baud rate of the serial communication for the Arduino.

* **TIMEOUT** *integer* Timeout value for the serial port.

* **INTERVAL** *integer* Check interval in seconds.

## Hardware

* Arduino-compatible board

* 16x2 LCD Display based on the Hitachi HD44780 driver

Wiring and sample code can be found [here](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LiquidCrystalDisplay).

#### Additional notes

* Two pushbuttons connected to pins 22 and 23 in pullup mode

* Pin 15 (backlight anode) of the LCD connected to pin 8 through a 320 ohm resistor

The pushbuttons can be removed as they do not directly affect the functionality of the script, however, I highly recommend keeping one in as it is used to clear the display. If you choose to remove the other one (which essentially just toggles the backlight), you will not need the Bounce2 library.

## Arduino libraries

* Built-in LCD library

* [Bounce2](https://github.com/thomasfredericks/Bounce2)

## Python dependencies

* [pyserial](https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial)

* [python-twitch-client](https://github.com/tsifrer/python-twitch-client)

### Disclaimer

This is my first real Python project, and as such the code is probably horribly inefficient. Any suggestions, feedback and questions are welcome and appreciated.
