This is The 20$ Subscriber Counter - Youtube & Instagram

Update 20210121:

I managed to get Instagram working again but it is far more complicated this time around since Instagram is blocking to many calls from any IP-adress. The code on my Github is updated to the latest version and I've also added a working library of instagramstats.h Install that library manually by replacing your current folder with this one. You also have to get a Long Lived User Access Key from Facebook API. Follow this video guide to create that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UCyRyJyZAo Once that is done, go here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/accesstoken and paste your Access token and the click Debug and then click Extend Access Token. This extended access token will work for about two months until it has to be replaced with a new one. This is the best working option so far.

So this project came from my curiosity of the Wemos ESP8266. I wanted to use it for something and stumbled across this project and thought it would be great as I recently hit 1000 subscribers.

I started by ordering the things I needed.

Wemos D1 mini or Lolin Wemos - https://amzn.to/3aQn2lx
DOT Matrix 7219 - https://amzn.to/2VPGSsK
Wires - https://amzn.to/3rKlYts
A piece of acrylic (optional) - https://amzn.to/2Lllfu5

The total sum of everything was about 20 dollar but I had a piece of acrylic that I had got a couple of months ago on sale – so it was really cheap.

I used the https://en.makercase.com/#/ to create a small box. From there you can print the template for the box. I made my box 10x4x4cm and used finger joints. The finger joints seems unnecessary but I wanted to try out the new band saw – so I went with that.

I started by putting the code together. The code is available from Github if you want to use the exact same code as I did. The main part of the code I got from Roberto Delgados YouTube channel where he posted his code. Watch his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQkrURbD9mU&t=6s
