We love some bloopers at the end. 😂

That was a quick wait for part 2! Really great idea watching it work!

To fix the programming button issue connect a 2.2uF cap between the enable pin and 0V

Classic D.W's is Back! Love it!

Don’t forget to add sanitisation to the PHP input... especially as you are working with a file.
-
Also; Wohooo! LIVE STREAM!

If it makes you feel any better, I know less about what you're doing than you. Stone cold sober. I'm just here for the pretty pretty lights.

Neat game. Jon Oxer had his party popper thing working with YouTube chat, might be worth a DM?

You need to add a very loud piezo buzzer to this project. Then set it up so we can compete during the night. :-)

What a fun project! Lots of complex layers to this one :D Can you have, instead of random characters, random individual segments light up? That could be fun, kinda like the random glyphs from Predator

Pythons requests and beautifulsoup4 handle these kind of things really well. With requests you can deal with the header issue and retrieving the data, beautifulsoup4 is great for parsing the test and locating exactly what you need from the text. Flask is a python library that you can use to create a website that does what you want it to do. You can use GitHub pages to host the site and heroku to create the server for the site so you don't have to pay for a server or domain.

Welcome back DAVE, its really nice to have you back. I like this, it's a fun concept. As a developer the way your code gets formatted makes me cringe a bit >.> I'll forgive you. If you want some help with either the back end code or the Arduino code let me know :)

YouTube Chat? You can get chat messages from a live chat with just a few lines of code using ArduinoJSON and HTTPClient. I can DM you an example if you like....
