About: 4D Makers is a group of curious engineers and enthusiasts who finds great satisfaction in creating and building anything from electronics.

Exchange rates are the way to know the value of one’s currency in
another country’s currency. They vary at every given moment, thus, some constantly monitors it. Featuring the gen4-4DPi-50CT-CLB and Raspberry Pi 3 model B, this project uses the Flask microframework for Python3, along with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, to create a foreign exchange monitoring device.

Step 1: Build

In this project, you will need the following:

HARDWARE COMPONENTS

  • gen4-4DPi-50CT-CLB – 5.0 inch Capactivie Touch Primary display for RPi
  • FFC Cable
  • gen4 4DPi Adaptor
  • Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

SOFTWARE APPS

  • MobaXterm
  • Foreign Exchange API by Fixer.io
