Reclaimed my #pimoroni #galacticUnicorn that had been in a drawer for a while - and excited to find some example code that interfaced with a sensor which has been sitting in a drawer for even longer. Neat!

Long story short: I opened some windows 😄

Life goal: I'd like to get all my neglected Pi boards doing *something* useful on the network. Coordinated if possible.

Thx: @jankmammal @gadgetoid!

Hi,

Is anybody using my #GuWeatherClock?

I would love to see some pictures of it in use!

#GitHub #GalacticUnicorn

I've made some late changes to the code: https://github.com/vwillcox/GU_WeatherClock

You can now use the LUX + and - keys to change the brigtness.

The API_KEY is moved to secrets.py to stop me accidentally uploading my API KEY

should have done this sooner!

To try and make using my #GalaticUnicorn weather clock easier, I have moved it to a full #GitHub Repo

https://github.com/vwillcox/GU_WeatherClock

Instructions are included on the page for your assistance.

Finally felt like getting my code on this evening.

My #GalacticUnicorn Date and weather code needed some work.

Now it correct time sync's and has some output on display to show if it is connected to wifi or not.

I may tweak it again.

Another fun #gamejam event soon! Get to try out a new development platform which has options for #pokitto #32blit #ESPboy #GamebuinoMeta #PicoSystem and a #GalacticUnicorn (details in the link).

I primarily will target Pokitto but the emulator for #MicoJS makes it easy to see how the games would look on other platforms too!

Well that all ended up a bigger project than intended, but finally releasing my #GalacticUnicorn clock, which includes a mounted drive so you can configure your WiFi details.

Still more things to add, but overall a fun exploration of the #PicoW C SDK.
