ScoreLED Technology

1. ScoreLED bases + light panels
2. Raspberry pi (tested on the Pi 2B+ and 3B+ so far)

• tweepy, a python wrapper for the twiter api: pip install tweepy
• textblob, a text handing api: pip install textblob
• yaml, yet another markup language: pip install pyyaml

1. Connect all four sets of three-pin LED plugs to the GPIO header on the pi

1. Set up the team names, twitter handles, and LED colors for each team using hex codes in "settings.yaml"
2. Set the default thresholds for sentiment colors in "thresholds.yaml"

1. SSH into the pi
2. Start a tmux instance
3. Navigate to the score-led folder

cd ~/Documents/score-led

4. Run the main file

python main_multithreading2019.py

5. To adjust the twiter sentiment thresholds live, exit the tmux instance and use the update command

python updateThresh.py #1 #2

• #1: negative threshold (default: 50)
• #2: positive threshold (default: 80)
• You must give this command two threshold values
