Raspberry Pi I2C LCD Tracker of cryptocurrency prices

Small python project for Raspberry Pi that fetches the prices from https://coinmarketcap.com/ and shows them on I2C 20x4 charachter LCD.

It's a small Python script that is run every 5 minutes by Cron (that's how often CoinMarketCap refreshes their public API data).

Finished project on Rapbery Pi - I2C LCD displaying prices of BTC, ETH, LTC and ADA

Cron job:

*/5 * * * * python3 /home/pi/Desktop/I2C_ekran/main.py

Possible future improvements:

  • Scrolling screen to show more currencies
  • Task scheduling using some python library
  • Find API that refreshes faster
