Installation instructions:
- Attach the 2.7inch e-Paper HAT from waveshare to a raspberry pi
- Create a fresh Pi OS sd-card (with desktop for novice users), boot the Pi with it whilst connected to a display, keyboard and mouse and setup the raspberry pi to your needs. Make sure it is connected to the internet.
- Open the raspberry pi configuration tool and enable the SPI interface and optional the SSH and or VNC interface
- When using ssh or vnc, open a terminal on your raspberry pi
- Run the commands below
git clone https://github.com/Hansie020/copernicusdisplay.git
cd copernicusdisplay
chmod u+x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh
Wait until the intall script finishes. Check if the display is working:
sudo python3 copernicusdisplay.py
The display should blink and shows three lines of text depicting the value of the copernicus vault in ETH, USD and EUR. If not, log an issue in this github after checking if all the above is done correctly.
When the display shows the correct data, you can install copernicusdisplay as a systemd service using the following commands:
sudo cp copernicusdisplay.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl enable copernicusdisplay.service
sudo systemctl start copernicusdisplay
The raspberry pi will update itself with the latest version of the master branch at boottime.
