Feed a Raspberry Pi dot-matrix display from your agent
A 90s-pinball style display shows weather, lake fishing conditions, bird reports, local shows, sports and AI news.
Prompt for your agent
Goal: Build a small display that my agent keeps updated. Setup: agents used in source: Hermes Agent; tools/MCPs stated: Raspberry Pi 5. Steps: 1. Build the display (Raspberry Pi 5 dot-matrix; or Pi Zero 2 W with a 1.3" screen). 2. Have the agent feed it: weather, fishing conditions, a hyperlocal bird report, local shows, sports on TV and AI news. 3. Variant: show Claude Code weekly quota, 5-hour window and model usage on screens you flip with a joystick. Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
