Funny little project for my own amusement. If everything goes well, this should work very similar to a darts scorer.

This Python script is to be primarily run on a Raspberry Pi (but you can port it to other devices of course). Tests can be run on non-RPi devices, too (which can be beneficial for the application development).

There are three devices which I would like to wire together:

1. MAX7219 7 segment display (8 digits wide)
2. LCD module 1602A (2 rows of 16 cells)
3. A very basic numeric keyboard from (Ctech, model KBN-01) (Linux assigned the device an id usb-SIGMACHIP_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd)

Prerequisites

Raspi

1. pip3 install --user max7219 evdev luma.led_matrix pillow
2. sudo apt-get install libopenjp2-7

Other (for development on non-Raspi devices)

1. sudo dnf install python3-devel
2. pip3 install --user evdev

Installation and execution

1. git clone https://github.com/zezulka/dart_scorer
2. cd dart_scorer
3. . bin/dart_scorer.sh
