Overview

This project is to display lyrics from the Spotify web api on a 64x32 led matrix.

• Recommend using a RPi 3 or higher (Zero is too slow for this).
• Originally forked from Ryan Ward's project for displaying cover art: https://github.com/ryanwa18/spotipi
• Uses syrics to fetch the lyrics data from Spotify

Getting Started

Guide: https://sperrow.cc/2024/05/09/spotipi-lyrics.html

• Create a new application within the Spotify developer dashboard. Set the redirect uri to any local url such as http://127.0.0.1/callback
• SSH to your raspberry pi to clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/sperrow/spotipi-lyrics

• Change into the directory

cd spotipi-lyrics

• Run the generate token script and enter the prompted spotify credentials using

bash generate-token.sh

• This will generate a file named .cache which will be used for authentication

  • A url will show up in the terminal window and you must copy this into your own web broswer
  • The url will redirect you to another url and you need to copy/paste this in the terminal when prompted.

• Install the software:
  

sudo bash setup.sh
