I made a map displaying Boston's Red Line using WS2812B LEDs and a Pi!

The CharlieBoard: A Geographically Accurate Real-Time Transit Display (Boston MBTA)
I've spent the last few months building a real-time transit display for Boston's Red Line using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, and I wanted to share my project!



Check out the full project: github.com/tomunderwood99/CharlieBoard

Hardware
Raspberry Pi Zero 2W running Python display logic

WS2812B addressable LEDs (custom PCB or LED strips)

5V 4A power supply

16GB+ microSD card
