An e-Paper nametag

Primary LanguagePython

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.
