I’ve been meaning to make this for a while: a calendar that shows the schedule of all the teams I like to watch.
I often find myself wanting to put a game on in the background while I’m working in my shop, but with all the different streaming services it’s hard to see what’s on! There are apps for this, but I don’t want to have to pull out my phone and, notably, the #PWHL is too new to appear on any of those apps.
Finding the schedule data was the hardest part, I’ll explain…
I’m still making improvements to my epaper sports calendar!
I created a minimalistic-style stand for the bare display that shows the entire screen, printed on my #BambuP1S.
If it works well I might submit it to the #inkycal project, these displays are a weird size that defies cheap frames.
Currently printing out the next iteration as I type this. The part on the left side will go all the way to the top of the screen, so it hopefully looks a little more seamless.
One feature I would LOVE for inkycal to implement is for events to spill over to the next line.
Currently I have to keep the font size pretty small in order to fit the full team names on one line (and this is even after I shortened the names manually). I’d love to be able to increased the font size so it only shows only a few days of events, and then it would be readable from across the room.
My final (for now) set up for the #inkycal. Feeling pretty good with how this looks! I uploaded the file to printables so others with a #waveshare 7.5" #epaper screen can use it.
I think now I'm going to focus on adding some features to the Inkycal project. First adding the ability for the events to spill onto two lines so I can increase the font size. Second, I want a more compact layout; have the times moved to the left under the date so as not to waste white space.
