Hi Guys,

Can anyone please point me in the right direction here?

How are some people able to program a pixel controller to display either green (when up) or red (when down) on stock market conditions.

I'd imagine you would need a controller that takes an SD card that is pre-programmed and which hooks into an API?

Thanks
 
Guess it's more a software thing more then a controller thing (unless a controller has some sort of a plugin to grab stock data)

Controller receives data and displays it,
Software/plugin needs to grab and sequence the data,

Will look into it though as I'm curious
 
Are you using a falcon pi? As there looks to be a stock ticker, not sure if there's config options for it but sure the green red would be a common idea
 
Cheers. Im not using anything yet, trying to figure out what the ideal controller would be. It needs to be dead simple.
 
Sure, you can use an Arduino and some libraries to control the pixels, but you're going to have to write a bunch of code for the stock market part.
 
Im certain someone would have already done the code part. Arduino has a huge community.
