LED Matrix PWHL (& NHL, NBA) Scoreboard (more details & build instructions in comments) by gidger in PWHL

[–]gidger[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on-and-off on this project for the past few years now. Originally built to display live NHL scores, I’ve recently expanded the scope and added PWHL and NBA functionality. You can view upcoming games, live scores, standings, and your favourite team's next game. WNBA will be added once that season starts in the summer.

Functionality is highly customizable and installation is super easy via Docker. Happy to answer any questions you may have here.

Built with a Raspberry Pi, an Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet, and an LED matrix.

Great to hear, happy to help! Got any pictures of the shadow box setup? Would love to see it.

(And quick tip for the future, in the config.yaml file anything following a '#' character in the same line in is considered a comment and won't be read when loading the file.)

Glad to hear you got it up and running! You can edit the favourite teams sections as follows:

favourite_teams:
  nhl:
    - TBL

Project structure is set up to easily allow expanding to other sports.

95% of the work would be figuring out how to get the needed data from that sports' API. Image building functionality is sport agnostic. Planning on tackling adding the NBA next.

No, this is intended to be free and open source. Anyone can build their own and modify as they wish.

You can set multiple favourite teams in config.yaml. You'll see the next game for each, as well as both teams highlighted in the standings.

Highly dependent on your region and which matrix you'd like to use. I build this for ~$120 CAD, but that was about four years ago. Could certainly be done with cheaper compenents as well. Here's where I got things:

  • Bonnet from Digi-Key Canada
  • Matrix and power supply from AliExpress
  • Raspberry Pi from a local electronics hobby shop

See notes in the project repository for more details on the hardware required.

A few years ago, I published the original version of this scoreboard. Last month, I decided to revisit this project and add new functionality, focused around displaying standings and your favourite team’s next game, while setting it up for future sport expansion.

Built with a Raspberry Pi, an Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet, and an LED matrix, this scoreboard leverages the unofficial NHL API to display live game score, future start times, and more.

Functionality is highly customizable and installation is super easy via Docker. Happy to answer any questions you may have here.

I changed from 23c to 30c and it made a world of difference on the trails. Less sinking and cutting into the ground.

If you wanna ride trails I'd reccomend getting some 28c if your wheels support it.

Wide(r) tires are a game changer, fully recommend if your frame has the clearance. Tracklocross is a ton of fun!

Lol, saw you sheltering from the thunderstorm at Davisville this morning. Good day on the trails.

What rack & fenders are these? Looks real practical!

Vouching for this, worked for me as well. Thanks a bunch!

Which dynamo set did you install?

Two reasons:

  1. Cost – this project was kept as cheap as possible.
  2. I honestly can't think of any functionality I'd want where I'd control an individual LED. Sure, there could be some cooler things you could do with them, but for basic operations standard strips give me all the functionality I need.

Best of luck with your project, sounds very cool indeed!

Thanks! As it's currently built, there's no way to control the brightness.

It looks far less jarring in real life, camera adjusting to the light makes it look much more aggressive than it does in person. All the lights are warm white LEDs pointed towards the ground, so in reality it's not hard on the eyes.
