Seven Segment Display (max7219 chip)

Robinhood Requirements

This repository makes use of the unofficial robinhood API located at https://github.com/Jamonek/Robinhood

You will need:

Your email
Password
Multi Factor Authentication Secret
- This can be obtained by enabling 2FA/MFA, clicking "Can't scan" and copying that code.

Why 2FA/MFA?

The Robinhood API Requires that you have MFA enabled in order to use the API.

This program works by utilizing the pyotp library in order to generate a 6 digit code in realtime with the following snippet:

import pyotp
totp = pyotp.TOTP("YOUR SECRET HERE")
six_digit_code = totp.now()

Installation

Note: following this segment will utilize your package manager, it must be ran as root.

git clone https://github.com/elycin/robinpi.git /opt/robinpi
cd /opt/robinpi
sudo bash install_dependencies.sh

Configuring the script

Move to working directory: cd /opt/robinpi
Copy example configuration: cp config.ini.example config.ini
Edit configuration and providde requirements: nano config.ini

You can either run the script manually by performing python3 main.py or by creating a systemd service below.

Systemd Service

A systemd service can be installed by saving the following file to /lib/systemd/system/robinpi.service and pasting the following contents:

[Unit]
Description=Robinhood Raspberry Pi Ticker
Wants=network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/robinpi
ExecStart=python3 /opt/robinpi/main.py
Type=simple
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Once creating this file, you can enable the service by the following commands:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable robinpi
systemctl start robinpi

Footnotes

Storing your 2FA secret is considered insecure, this project was created in mind of being helpful, not to deliberately jeopardize your credentials if your device running this software is compromised.
Please make sure that you properly secure down your device running this script. I am not to be held responsibile and do not provide warranty if it is compromised due to your error/lack of security.
There is no license on this code in the repository. You are free to modify it at will.
This code makes use of the luma.led_matrix library which contains support for multiple displays. You don't have to use a sevensegment display, but this will require modifying the code.
