I thought of project : I want to display 3 numbers which must be updated often from an internet service which enjoy an API (I enjoy programming skills and a server).
I enjoy read that we can update a littlebit module via cloudbit with the littlebits API - https://github.com/littlebits/cloud-api-lessons
So my script would be on my server, and executed often (using crontab).
My issue is : I'not certain of what I really need to buy.
To display one number,I need the number module : https://littlebits.cc/bits/number
To deal with the internet, I need a cloudbit : http://littlebits.cc/bits/cloudbit which include a P3 USB Adapter.
Main question : Does I need 3 cloudbits + 3 number module or just 1 cloudbit, and 1 fork module and 3 number module ? => Can I monitor 3 number modules with a fork + a cloudbit ?
I thought also of another way : I enjoy a lot of old computer at my home that I can let 24h/24 switched on.
Is there any way to update a littlebits number module from a computer? I wasn't certain that I can with the P3 USB Adapter (is it only power ?)
With what I enjoy read,the Arduino module isn't a good solution for an internet updated project.
As you can see, I enjoy programming skills but I'm a bit lost with electronics. thanks for your help and sorry for my poor english, or
