MagTag - World Cup

Switch between Today's Schedule and Live Match score by rotating the MagTag.

This script uses the amazing World Cup JSON to get its information. For now, the Live Match page only shows the current scores. In-game stats will be added when they become available on the JSON. Looks like it'll be happening soon.

Usage

Once setup, select Schedule view or Live Game view by changing the orientation of the device. At the next update, the MagTag will check the orientation and display the selected view. For an immediate update simply click the reset button.

5. Update User Settings block in code.py

ToDo

• In-game stats when available.

• Favorite team details when turned vertically.
• Fine-tune refresh times so MagTag only updates at midnight, just before a match, and then at regular intervals during a match.
