Make Your Own Raspberry Pi Scrolling News Ticker #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

Nice scrolling news ticker project from Chubbyemu on YouTube.
Inspired by my move to NYC by Times Square in 2015, I thought I’d recreate a mini Times Square in my apartment and get real news from my favorite rss feeds with future improvements in mind.
Featured Adafruit Product!
Medium 16×32 RGB LED matrix panel: Bring a little bit of Times Square into your home with this 16 x 32 RGB LED matrix panel. These panels are normally used to make video walls, here in New York we see them on the sides of busses and bus stops, to display animations or short video clips. We thought they looked really cool so we picked up a few boxes of them from a factory. They have 512 bright RGB LEDs arranged in a 16×32 grid on the front. On the back there is a PCB with two IDC connectors (one input, one output: in theory you can chain these together) and 12 16-bit latches that allow you to drive the display with a 1:8 scan rate.
