LED Matrix Scoreboard

I wanted live scores on a wall instead of on a phone, so I built a physical scoreboard: a Raspberry Pi driving an RGB LED matrix, polling live sports data and drawing the result pixel by pixel.

The interesting constraint is the display itself. An LED matrix has no text rendering, no layout engine, and very few pixels to spend, so every score, team abbreviation, and clock has to be composed by hand and kept legible from across a room. The Python service handles fetching and caching the game state, then hands a frame to the matrix driver.

Written in Python and running on a Raspberry Pi. The source is on my Gitea instance if you want to build one.
