Oscar automatically adds things to your grocery list when you run out. You just scan the item's barcode on its way into the trash.

Here's a video about it!

I have forked this project in order to maintain a version that is Python 3 compatible (ArchLinux ARM users).

To use this branch:

 git clone -b python3 https://github.com/digital-shokunin/oscar.git

I run Oscar on a Raspberry Pi under Raspbian. I use this barcode scanner.

Edit by digital-shokunin: Also supports Adafruit's compact scanner which is much more convenient and easier to place somewhere. There is also a case I designed for it that can be 3D printed.

That said, there's no reason Oscar shouldn't work with other hardware.

To install Oscar, run the included install.py as root on the target system. It will walk you through the process of setting up any API accounts you'll need, and then it'll install the software.

I haven't really tested that install script, so let's cross our fingers together.

I'm on the Twitters if you have a quick question. For bug reports, use the issues page or submit a pull request.

Thanks to the awesome CloCkWeRX for picking up my slack now that I don't have a Raspberry Pi to test on anymore.
