+This repository contains all the files and documentation for Movie Tracker, a clapperboard-shaped, Raspberry Pi-powered Release Tracker. It uses the TMDb API to print the poster, title, release date, and overview of upcoming movies in your region, in a specified time interval(eg. movie releases this week) on thermal paper.  [Visit the DIY guide](https://gorkem.cc/projects/TheatricalReleaseTracker) for details.
