i have a new project i want to build using this display https://www.google.com/search?q=8x8...AUICygC&biw=1366&bih=653#imgrc=AXtsb8LxfLLSVM:
i have it working on the arduino scrolling messages but what i REALLY want is to have the Raspberry pi zero W drive the matrix using the SPI interface pins and have a scrolling news "Ticker" from either CNN or the BBC (RSS)?
i have no idea how to accomplish this goal other than a few people online have used PYTHON to program this and something about having a api key, which i did download from CNN.
Any ideas guys?
