This script turns an e-Paper display into a digital nametag, and displays a new randomly-generated name (and university affiliation) every 10 seconds.
It uses three input files:
firstnames.csv
lastnames.csv
colleges.csv
I used this data from FiveThirtyEight as a basis for the name lists here.
The script as written relies on my fork of PaperTTY, which you need to install before running.
It also uses the font BrownBagLunch.ttf
, which can be downloaded
here. It was created by Kevin Richey and is
licensed as Freeware.
