TICKER: LED matrix widgets via WiFi with a PocketBeagle

Bright bold display for weather updates, Spotify sessions and more. A soothing antidote to pixel dense modern screens using a 64×32 RGB LED Matrix. Shared by Robert Heeter on hackster.io:

In this project, I design a self-contained LED matrix with WiFi, button inputs, and a temperature and humidity sensor, in addition to an open-source software framework to run multiple widgets and allow users to design their own. The widgets for this project specifically include a simple clock, an indoor temperature and relative humidity monitor, and a Spotify “currently playing” display with album artwork and artist information (shown in the image below and as the cover image for this project). Additional widgets that could be coded in the future include a stock market tracker, a long-distance message display, an outdoor weather forecast, a list of live sports scores, and a quote-of-the-day display, etc.
