Installation

opkg update
opkg install python-light python-urllib3 pyOledExp

Known issues

  1. No space left on device
  • This may happen if you have installed the editor or terminal on the Omega2. If you have previously installed these components, you can remove them with the opkg remove commands. You can do a opkg list to check if you have the modules installed on your Omega2, and if it's there ( look for onion-console-xxx), you can remove them with opkg remove onion-console-terminal etc. Once you have removed the onion-console-terminal, onion-console-editor and onion-console-base, you should be able to download and install the remaining python-urllib3 and pyOledExp modules with opkg install python-light python-urllib3 pyOledExp. Since we won't have the editor on the omega2 anymore, you will have to scp your updates files to the omega2 or change the file with native linux text editor vim and edit your username, consumer API key, and consumer API key (secret) in the config.json file.
  1. Something went wrong when running the mainProgram() in the olderTwitterDisplay.py
  • In this case, it's something to do with the ssl module on your OS system where it might not be able to make HTTPS requests. So you will have to change L8 of oledTwitterDisplay.py file to baseUrl = "http://api.twitter.com"
  1. Text on the OLED display is upside down.
  • Working on a solution
