Tilt Bluetooth monitor

Collection of scripts for my Pi Zero W Tilt Hydrometer monitor.

The three big players are stats.py, image_logo.py, and tilt_final.py

stats.py throws some stats up on the oled screen, image_logo.py displays the Tilt logo for a few seconds (because I can't figure out how to show an image, then display text in the same script and I got tired of messing with it, and finally tilt_final.py gets the status of the Tilt Sensor, and displays it to the screen. Then pushes are done to sheets.google.com and brewstat.us. Finally a countdown is shown to the next reading (600 seconds between reads).

Parts used: (asins have changed since I built the project; double check before you buy!)
