Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Live Bus Map for Your Wall
Dublin Bus publishes an API which can be queried to show how long it will be before the next bus will arrive at a stop. Many of the busier bus stops have signs that will show you this information while you wait.
My local bus stop doesn't have this info, and I'm pretty lazy¹ in the mornings. So I built a live map showing buses that were approaching my local bus stop.
This project was inspired by the People in Space Indicator, a cute project which lights up an LED for every person currently in space, right now. However I realised that a Raspberry PI Zero W is small enough to fit into an IKEA RIBBA picture frame.
I used the Real-time Passenger Information (RTPI) API to retrieve the data
¹ Too lazy to use the Dublin Bus App or Website apparently…
