E-Ink YouTube Stats Counter

Built at HatterHacks2019

It's an E-Ink YouTube stats counter display, running an Adafruit Feather Huzzah. It's still a work in progress.

The ESP8826 makes an HTTPS request to Google APIs to pull YouTube channel meta.

Enabling TLS was fairly evolved. Since the ESP8826 is not that sophisticated, I had to manually add the root ssl certificate for the google api servers.

Parsing JSON on Arduino can be difficult, I was able to get the ArduinoJson Library to parse the http response and pull the required values.
