Building a Crypto Price Tracker with a Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a popular low-cost computer that can be used to build a variety of projects. In this tutorial, we'll build a crypto price tracker that uses the Raspberry Pi to track the price of various cryptocurrencies.
To start, you'll need a Raspberry Pi and an installation of Raspbian. You can download the Raspbian image file from the Raspberry Pi website and install it on your computer.
Once you have Raspbian installed, you'll need to install the dependencies needed for the crypto price tracker project. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following commands:
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0 libcrypto1.0.0
Once the dependencies are installed, you'll need to create a configuration file for the crypto price tracker. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command:
sudo nano /etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
Inside the configuration file, you'll need to add the following lines:
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
Next, you'll need to add a list of cryptocurrencies that you want to track. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command:
sudo nano /etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
Inside the configuration file, you'll need to add the following line:
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0
After adding the lines for the cryptocurrencies, you'll need to add the location of your Bitcoin wallet. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command:
sudo nano /etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
Inside the configuration file, you'll need to add the following line:
rpcport=8332
Finally, you'll need to start the Bitcoin server. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command:
sudo service bitcoin start
Once the Bitcoin server is started, you can test that everything is working by typing the following command:
bitcoin -testnet
If everything is working correctly, you'll see output that looks like the following:
{ "result" : "OK", "amount" : 0.02000000, "locktime" : 0 }
Now that the crypto price tracker is configured, you'll need to start tracking the prices of the cryptocurrencies. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command:
sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
Next, open a web browser and type the following address:
http://localhost:8000/cryptocurrencies
You should now be able to access the crypto price tracker on your Raspberry Pi. To view the current prices for the cryptocurrencies that you are tracking, type the following command:
sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 http://localhost:8000/cryptocurrencies
How to set up a Raspberry Pi to track cryptocurrency prices in real-time

Use a Raspberry Pi to make a scrolling LED display of cryptocurrency prices
A Raspberry Pi can be used to make a scrolling LED display of cryptocurrency prices. This project is simple to set up and requires no additional hardware. You will need:
A Raspberry Pi 3 or Raspberry Pi 2
An 8GB or larger memory card
A USB cable
A display (such as an LCD screen)
An SD card reader
A power supply (such as a 5V/2A power supply)
An operating system (such as Raspbian or Ubuntu)
Instructions
1. Download the Raspbian image for your Raspberry Pi from the Raspberry Pi website. Note: If you are using a Raspberry Pi 3, you will need to use the latest Raspbian image available.
2. Unzip the file and write the image to your SD card.
3. Plug in your Raspberry Pi and power it on. If you are using a Raspberry Pi 3, you will need to enable SSH before proceeding. Type the following command into the terminal window: sudo raspi-config and select the option that says “enable SSH”.
4. Connect your display to your Raspberry Pi by using the USB cable.
5. Open a terminal window on your computer and type the following command: ssh pi@raspberrypi.local. Replace “pi” with the IP address of your Raspberry Pi. For example, if your Raspberry Pi is located at 192.168.1.100, you would type the following command: ssh pi@192.168.1.100.
6. In the terminal window on your computer, type the following commands: cd /boot/configs/ sudo vi lcd. config Add the following line to the end of the file: dtoverlay=lcd4 The “dtoverlay” line will tell the Pi how to interpret the data from the display. Save the file and exit the text editor.
7. Type the following command to start the LCD service: sudo service lcd start
8. Type the following command to view the current cryptocurrency prices on your display: cat /boot/configs/lcd.config The “cat” command will open a text file in your terminal window. The first line of the text file will show the name of the file and the second line will show the contents of the file. The third line of the file will show the current date and time. The fourth line of the file will show the current cryptocurrency prices. Press “ctrl+c” to exit the text editor and return to the terminal window on your computer.
9. To make changes to the cryptocurrency prices on your display, you will need to restart the LCD service first. To do this, type the following command: sudo service lcd restart
