inky-spotify

Use a Raspberry Pi to display album art for your current Spotify listens on a 7-colour ePaper display.

Usage

Designed for use with an Inky Impression 7 colour ePaper display. The ePaper display transitions bring the album art to life, and doesn't require power to maintain the image!

1. Follow the setup instructions for Inky Impression here.

2. Connect your display to a Pi, and clone this repo on the Pi.

3. Create a file called auth.json with the following structure (get this information from Spotify Developers Portal) in the root of the repo:

{
	"spotify_client_id":     "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
	"spotify_client_secret": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

4. Run main.py:

./main.py

5. Authenticate your Spotify account (one time only).

6. Play a track on Spotify.

7. Enjoy the view.

3D Files

Fits all models of Raspberry Pi. CAD files and STLs are included for download. Parts are connected with double-sided tape, assembly is self-explanatory!
