@axwax @smolrobots Oh I LOVE that - is it your own script to scrape and display?

Thanks!

Yes, I'm using the Mastodon #Python library to grab media posts from a personal timeline (as I've done here), federated timeline, or a hashtag (uncomment as needed).

I've got a few more details/examples in this thread: https://fosstodon.org/@axwax/109387591987178692

and the code can be found at https://github.com/axwax/MastoInky

Let me know how you get on if you do try it - I haven't touched it since last November, so the library may have changed since then!

@axwax Hiya. I've done my own version for Inky Impression - working on it now. The only thing I found was a change in PIL.Image

Change the reference to Image.Resampling.LANCZ0S - just remove the word "Resampling"

This makes it work with the new version.

@axwax My version is here: https://github.com/recantha/MastoInky I've got a couple of buttons using gpiozero hooked up to increment through accounts and posts.

@recantha @axwax oooh. I like the look of this...

One of these days I'd really like to attempt to replace the Pi Zero with a #RaspberryPiPicoW and redoing this in #MicroPython.

I did have a quick go last autumn trying to modify #Pimoroni's "Inky Frame" code to make it work with my "Inky Developer", but couldn't get it to work at the time.

Iirc I somehow got lost between the InkyFrame driver and the PicoGraphics library.

@gadgetoid, would you know perhaps if anyone's used the InkyDeveloper with MicroPython succesfully?

@axwax @smolrobots oh yay, they are here! thanks for the heads-up 🤖
