Getting Started

Prerequisites

Arduino Uno
16x2 i2c LCD Screen
Spotify API Client ID and Client Secret

Installing On Arduino

Clone the repository
Open the Arduino IDE
Install the LiquidCrystal_I2C library
Open the main.ino file
Upload the code to your Arduino Uno

Setting Up Spotify API

Go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard
Create a new application
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret
Paste the Client ID and Client Secret into the example_config.json file
Rename the example_config.json file to config.json
Run the code

Built With

LiquidCrystal_I2C - The library used to control the LCD screen (it is also available in the Arduino IDE library manager)
