rpi-cvfirebirds

Scrolls the start time of any Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL) game scheduled for today across a Raspberry Pi Sense HAT LED matrix.

Requirements

  • A Raspberry Pi with a Sense HAT attached. The sense-hat dependency installs only on Linux; running elsewhere will fail at SenseHat().

Raspberry Pi setup

RTIMU (the Sense HAT's IMU library) is not on PyPI — it only ships as a Raspberry Pi OS apt package. The virtualenv therefore has to see system site-packages:

sudo apt install sense-hat mpv      # RTIMULib + RTIMU bindings; mpv plays speech.wav
uv venv --system-site-packages      # venv that can see apt's RTIMU
uv sync                             # install httpx2 + sense-hat

Run

uv run program.py

For each of today's games involving the Firebirds (team ID 445), it scrolls:

The <visitor> will be playing the <home team> at <local start time>

It also plays speech.wav (via mpv) 5 minutes and 1 minute before game time. Run it from cron once a minute.

Times are converted from the game's timezone to the Pi's local timezone.
