PrayerPortal

PrayerPortal uses the Adafruit PyPortal Titano to automatically fetch Muslim prayer times via Wi-Fi, display them on the device's screen, and play the Adhan (Islamic call to prayer) at the appropriate times.

Features

• Automatic Prayer Times Fetching: Connects to the internet to retrieve accurate prayer times for your location.
• Prayer Times Display: Shows the current time and all daily prayer times on the screen.
• Adhan Alert: Plays the Adhan at each prayer time.

Hardware Required

• Adafruit PyPortal Titano
• Micro USB cable
• Wi-Fi connection
• SD card ( < 32GB & > 1GB )

Software Required

• Circup

Setup Instructions

1. Install CircuitPython: Follow Adafruit's guide to install CircuitPython on the PyPortal Titano.

2. Configure Settings: In the settings.toml file, update:

   • Wi-Fi: Your Wi-Fi credentials.
   • Location: Set your geographic location.

3. Install Required Libraries:

   Install the necessary CircuitPython libraries by running the following command in the root of this project:

   circup --path ./CIRCUITPY/ install adafruit-circuitpython-sd
   circup --path ./sd/ install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Upload Code:

   • Copy the content of the sd directory into your SD card.
   • Upload the content of the CIRCUITPY directory to the PyPortal Titano.

5. Run the Program: Power on the PyPortal Titano, and it will automatically connect to Wi-Fi, fetch the prayer times, and display them on the screen.

How It Works

1. Wi-Fi Connection: The PyPortal Titano connects to the internet using your Wi-Fi credentials.
2. Fetching Prayer Times: The device requests prayer times from the Aladhan API based on your location.
3. Displaying Times: The screen displays the prayer times for the day, updated regularly.
4. Playing Adhan: The Adhan is played 5 min before each prayer time through the built-in speaker or a connected speaker.
