# Based on 
# Scroller Demo

from scroller import Scroller

from time import sleep

# create a scroller 0bject
scroll = Scroller()

# set the hue colour (0 is red etc)
hue = 0.8

scroll.clear()

wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)

wlan.active(True)

wlan.connect(secrets.SSID, secrets.PASSWORD)

print(wlan.isconnected())

while True or KeyboardInterrupt:
    astronauts = urequests.get("http://api.open-notify.org/astros.json").json()
    number = astronauts['number']
    for i in range(number):
        message = astronauts['people'][i]['name']
        #message = "There are currently " + message + " people on the ISS"
        for position in range(16, -len(message*(5+1)),-1):
            scroll.show_message(message, position, hue)
            sleep(0.01 )

scroll.clear()

secrets.py

SSID = "SSID" # Your SSID
PASSWORD = "PASSWORD" # Your Wifi Password

You will need the rest of the code from Kevin's Git Hub
You will also need to create a secrets.py file with your WIFI SSID and WiFi Password:

SSID = "SSID"
PASSWORD = "PASSWORD"
