Niimbot & Twitch printing stream!

This is a project where the idea is to create a twitch stream that allows people to chat and based on the chat messages labels will be printed.

Tech Stack

1. Messaging - Twitch IRC
2. Label Printing - Niimbot & Custom Made library based on NiimBlue as reference implementation of niimbot's printers
3. Custom Framebuffer Drawing Library using MiniFB and AB_Glyph.
4. Text Extraction - OpenAI's GPT-4-MINI

Utilities

So i made a couple never before made crates afaik. You can "install" these crates by just copying over the files this is by far the most reliable way. Just add a tiny notice above the files saying you got it from this repo :).

Alternative method: You can add this to your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
niimbot = {git="https://github.com/Tricked-dev/printer-livestream"}
circe ={git="https://github.com/Tricked-dev/printer-livestream"}
ntfy = {git="https://github.com/Tricked-dev/printer-livestream"}

I will provide minimal support for people using these crates but feel free to open an issue if you have any problems.

How to run

1. Good Luck lol this Niimbot printer is unreliable AF

Ok so you are daring? Here we go

1. Create a config.json file in your PWD it should include these fields, see 1 for twitch

{
  "openai_api_key": "",
  "irc_token": "oauth:SECRET",
  "irc_channel": "#username",
  "irc_username": "",
  "width": 400, // Round these to nearest 8 btw remove this comment cause json parser is pretty strict :)
  "height": 240,
  "clock_time": 30,
  "notify_url": "Optional insert full ntfy url here",
  "set_shutdown_timer": 4 // Would probably set this to 4 otherwise printer will shutdown pretty quickly after the program crashes and heartbeats stop :)
}

Full config spec can be found here

2. Run the program

A white window will open and after that you can type in chat in the following format text x,y ai will parse other patterns too but this one is the most reliable

3. Setup obs

The countdown is placed in timer.txt in PWD when this program starts and as you might guess it counts down use this as text source in obs to get a live countdown. And obviously place the window this program spawns in obs too. You might also want to add a webcam and setup obs stream credentials Good luck yet again!
