# eink-dashboard 📺
> A fun little rarely updating dashboard

Currently, this repo is just an assortment of random views I am creating for the display:
| view | script |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Map with precipitation radar overlaid in red | [Mappyboi](./mappyboi.py) |
| Cowsay with Dad jokes | [Cowsay](./cowsay.py) |
**Disclaimer**, this is not my best work - but it's been a bit of lockdown fun :D
## Installation
This requires python3 installed, as well as some other additional components.
Probs worth following this stuff
Then clone the repo onto the RPI, and create a new `settings.py` file from the [example provided](./settings.py.sample)
In order to run the scripts, just run
```bash
python3 mappyboi.py
```Or whack it in a cron job to be run every 10 minutes with `crontab -e` and inputting the following:
```cron
*/10 * * * * python3 /home/pi/mappyboi.py
```
