Here is all the code needed to run a Cryptocurrency ticker tape on a LED board using a raspberry pi. This assumes following the tutorial on hzeller's github project regarding setting up the LED's found here.
Be sure you can run the sample python LED codes found here
Once that works you can download this project and simply run

Your board should light up as soon as it downloads the first set of Crypto prices.
