Raspberry Pi E-Ink Task Organizer -- Episode 422

My work just moved to Asana, does anyone have the changes necessary to use Asana instead of Todoist on this?

Nice project Kaleb, a bit late to the pi scene and the project on this one but thinking something similar. For you're raspberry pi did you use a desktop image or CLI image for the planner application. I'm planning on using a pi zero w for mine personally but debating on utilising a gui install or pure cli.

also an alternative power mode I was thinking of utilizing was using a pisugar2 to power the pi and hat together, though need to check which pins on the circuitboard the HAT for the e-ink screen utilizes and wither it clashes with the pi sugar connections.

Hi Chen,

Do you have the Todoist api stuff setup? Its possible that the module may fail to load if that opts['api_key'] does not exist for todoist.

not sure if anyone can help me here with the error below

Is they a possibility you could share your files for the printing of the case/support?

Where are your to-do's coming from, and are you sure that is where this error is originating?

And good on changing the requirements to meet your specific need.

Thanks Clem...

I'm tryingo to solve this, but actually, I don't know how...

Is there any the code "accept" UTF-8, or I need to change all my to-dos?

Thanks!

Actually I change the spidev==3.3 to spidev==3.2 in the requirement.txt, followed all the instructions but when I run the infowindow.py I get the error:

Do you know why is this happening?

Thanks

The routine expect valid ascii below 128x and recieived e7x. Most problem like this implies the sender did not encode before sending data!

Thanks Kaleb!

I'm having some issues in this process...

I'm doing it with a new Raspberry Pi 4B, and in the pip install -r requirements.txt install, it says:

"Collecting spidev==3.3 (from -r requirements.txt (line 85))

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement spidev==3.3 (from -r requirements.txt (line 85)) (from versions: 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4)

No matching distribution found for spidev==3.3 (from -r requirements.txt (line 85))"

Should I change the requirements file?

Thanks
