Telebot hosted on Pi

Inspiration

Wanted to find a way to host the telegram bot template (provided during the workshop by ahrefs) locally, without running the Google colab notebook continuously on my laptop.

What it does

Well it doesn't do much now but the plan was to update the E-ink screen whenever the telegram bot receives a new message. Was stuck trying to work out for to fix the Python dependencies for the TeleBot.

How we built it

Using sample templates provided by the E-ink display manufacturer and the Telegram bot workshop, our goal was to combine both into a Python script that runs on boot, and run it on a Raspberry Pi Zero WH.

Challenges we ran into

Python dependency issues since Raspbian OS for RPi Zero doesn't exactly come with the most updated Python version.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting the E-ink screen to boot up LOL

What we learned

Dependency hell be the bane of our project, especially when the installed Python version be pree old.

What's next for Telebot hosted on Pi

Actually, I was consdering using E-Inks more as a daily wellness reminder gadget.
