dashday's Introduction

Dashday is now deprecated :(

But good news! There's a bigger, better version of Dashday now! It's called Headlights, and it's open source too. It's available here.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Your day's dashboard, printed.

What is Dashday?

Dashday is a project designed to print a wonderful summary of your day ahead on any thermal or dot matrix printer (receipt printer to those uninitiated) that supports the Epson standard ESC/POS.

What does Dashday use?

Dashday is written in Python, and compiled against 3.5, but should work with 3.3 and upwards or PyPy3. It uses a very slightly modified version of the wonderful Meteocons icon set for weather icons in the output, and the python-escpos library for printer communication.

What prerequisites are there?

How do I work this thing?

  1. git clone https://github.com/mashedkeyboard/Dashday.git dashday
  2. cd dashday/dashday
  3. pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. Run dashday.py and browse to localhost:9375.
  5. Complete the setup with your own values. To find your printer's vendor and product IDs, use the python-escpos documentation. Note that at this time Dashday only supports USB printers.

What's all this about plugins?

All the individual sections of the report are put into plugins - you can enable or disable whatever you want within the app. Individual plugin configuration files live within the /config directory, and the plugins themselves live within the /plugins one. If you want to build a plugin, take a look at the weather plugin for an example to go on.

Is that it?

Nope. More features are coming very soon to the report, it won't just be the weather :)

What if something goes wrong?

  1. Make sure you a) have dashday.cfg in your directory, and b) it's syntactically valid (check the sample to make sure).
  2. Check dashday.log - see if there's anything helpful in there, it should all be human readable.
  3. Create an issue on GitHub if you still can't get things working. Include your dashday.log file.
