Show HN: GitHub graph via API on an LCD display and ESP32
After 2 months coding micropython I managed to connect to the github API, retrieve the data and display the github contributions matrix on a nice LCD display powered by an ESP32.
It also shows personal stats: public repos, yearly contributions, followers and earned stars.
I coded a menu to navigate the screens, change the LED color, rotate the screen or sleep the device.
I will be more than happy to help anybody interested in building their own as well.
- pablogonmo 2y agoHello HN, Last year I quit my job and decided to change industry. Now I am trying projects of different nature and see what sticks. On my return I started using github. I noticed there wasn't any color display accessory to visualize your github contributions. So I decided to build my own. I built this little device for 2 reasons: (a) Because I like microelectronics and I liked the idea a lot. (b) Prove myself this was something I could make work despite having 0 experience I hope you like it as much as I do and I would love to hear your feedback. Pablo
