wienerlinienmonitor-for-raspberrypi's Issues

Switch between specified stations via keypad

The user will be able to specify multiple RBL numbers as parameters when starting the script so that he can switch between those stations by pressing a button during execution.

Listener thread stays alive after main thread terminates

Switch driving direction via keypad

Push a button the keypad to switch the driving direction.

Example: Display shows the arrival time of the tram line 9 driving to Westbahnhof. After you've pushed the button, the display is going to show the arrival time of tram line 9 driving to Gersthof instead.

"Boot" and "Shutdown" animations

Show a little animation when the script is being started or terminated.

Turn screen automatically off after 20 seconds of inactivity

Turn the screen off if no button has been pressed in the last 20 seconds.

Possibility to turn display on/off

Turn the LCD screen on or off by pressing a button on the keypad.

Configure and initialize display after checking arguments

This prevents the script from unnecessarily turning on the display even though only the help message was requested by the user by entering the -h/--help argument.

Show the reason for interruption of operations by holding the select button

If the indicator for an interruption of operations (#11) is being displayed, press and hold the select button to display the reason behind of this. The message will disappear after a few seconds.

Scroll text when it doesn't fit on lcd screen

If a station's name contains more characters than the lcd screen can display at once, scroll the text to left instead of simply cutting it of.
If the end of the text has been reached, jump back to the beginning.

Blinking Indicator when arrival time is 0 minutes

When the arrival time is 0 minutes, display a blinking indicator instead of two zeros.

Indicate when an interruption of operations is happening

Display shows weird symbols or nothing when being turned on/off while updating message

Indicate if a ride is the last one for this night
