Show tide times on an Inky pHAT using the Raspberry Pi

London-based educator Giles Booth has taken an Inky pHAT from Pimoroni and placed it on top of his Raspberry Pi. He’s then used screen-scraping software Beautiful Soup to interrogate the MET office website and grab ride times. The script to do this is scheduled every morning and the output is then displayed on the Inky pHAT. Giles does point out that, being a screen-scraper based script, it is reliant on the MET office not changing their website in any way, so consider it a beta until he gets access to a more stable API. Read how he did it here.
