belay VS pico-solar-system

An alternative approach which I also frequently use, especially for trying out partial scripts is to use Jupyter notebooks. There’s a few different nice tools, all available to install with pip: There jupyter_micropython_kernel, mpremote (then: from mpremote import pyboard) or belay. All good options with slightly different use cases in my experience.

Have a look at belay, that would be good for your use case I believe. https://github.com/BrianPugh/belay

Thanks! I just wanted to try driving an ST7789 from a CircuitPython :) As for the custom pimoroni MicroPython build it's also fine and seems way faster than displayio, I've used it in a couple of projects e.g. https://github.com/dr-mod/pico-solar-system

Thanks. I designed a device like you're describing some time ago: * https://github.com/dr-mod/pico-solar-system * https://www.reddit.com/r/Astronomy/comments/on9dpl/ive_build_this_tiny_clock_to_always_be_aware_of/

Thanks! As for displaying all planets, here is another project for Pico I made some time ago: * https://github.com/dr-mod/pico-solar-system * https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/q98cpj/my_pico_solar_system_got_featured_in_magpi_the/

I'm building the Raspberry Pi Pico Solar System located here by u/dr2mod. Noobie using MicroPython, so go easy.

Code is based on these two projects: * https://github.com/dr-mod/pico-solar-system * https://github.com/dr-mod/true-binary-mode-clock

If anyone is interested, here is the link to the magazine and the repository of the project : * https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/ * https://github.com/dr-mod/pico-solar-system

I’ve pushed the code and instructions to my GitHub here: https://github.com/dr-mod/pico-solar-system Do let me know if you have any ideas on additional features that could be added.

If you want to build one yourself, you can find the instructions here: https://github.com/dr-mod/pico-solar-system
