Scrolling Ticker RPi Python

[rue61]

Hello everyone,

 

I have put together program that grabs data from a website and stores is in a single line array. It then prints this on the led matrix that I have. I was wondering if there was anyone out there that could help me convert it to just a line of text?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Ultimately, I would love to break it up into a matrix that I can display and have the home team on top and the away on the bottom, but I can not even do this yet, so that's far away.

I think the programming section may be a better fit for this.

 

Never the less, do you have a copy of your current code, the hardware you're running, and what your end goal is? There's not a whole lot of information to go on here. If you need to simply convert an array to a string in python you can do so like the following:

array = ['some','array','things']

listToStr = ' '.join([str(elem) for elem in array])

Thank you very much. I will look over there then to continue my search.

I know I'm late but I think you could capture x number characters using something like print(variable[start:end]) and then increment start and end to give a scrolling effect.
