A real-time tracker that routinely refreshes with the current values of your favorite digital currencies. Currently supported are Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Litecoin.
The Crypto Currency Tracker monitors the value of three different digital currencies — Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin — and compares them each against the United States dollar.
The hardware consists of a Raspberry Pi, a 16×2 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an SD card, Ethernet cabling, and a USB micro cable with wall wart for power. The tracker’s software is built on Raspbian Linux and uses existing Python libraries to control a Hitachi LCD controller combined with our tracker’s Python scripts, which make JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) requests for each respective digital currency market index.
