Exchange rates are the way to know the value of one’s currency in
another country’s currency. They vary at every given moment, thus, some constantly monitors it. Featuring the gen4-4DPi-50CT-CLB and Raspberry Pi 3 model B, this project uses the Flask microframework for Python3, along with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, to create a foreign exchange monitoring device.
