This project is to display information on the 8x8 sense HAT led matrix from the Spotify web api.
- Create a new application within the Spotify developer dashboard
- Edit the settings of the application within the dashboard.
- Set the redirect uri to any local url such as http://127.0.0.1/callback
- Before logging into the raspberry pi, you will need to generate an authentication token.
- To do this, you are going to want to clone my spotipi repository on your main computer with access to a web browser.
git clone https://github.com/PineappleSnackz/spotipi-sensehat.git
- Next go ahead and change into the directory using
cd spotipi
- Run the generate token script and enter the prompted spotify credentials using
bash generate-token.sh
- This will generate a file named
.cache-<username> - You are going to want to scp this file over to your raspberry pi, for example:
scp .cache-<username> [email protected]:/home/pi
- Clone the repository to your raspberrypi
git clone https://github.com/PineappleSnackz/spotipi-sensehat.git
- Move the token file to the repository root
mv <path_to_cache_file> <path_to_cloned_repository>
- Install the software:
cd spotipi
sudo bash setup.sh
- Edit settings on the web app:
navigate to http://<raspberrypi_hostname or ip_address> within a web browser
