SunsetTracker

Track the day's progress and time to sunset using the Pimoroni InkyPhat

It take a long 2 or 3 seconds to render the InkyPhat display making development slow.
With a bit of hacking you can simulate the InkyPhat inside a jupyter notebook and speed up development.
Inside a notebook its quick and easy to learn how to use the Python Image Library "PIL" and try out your code.
Working example in sunset_timer.ipynb

Virtual InkyPhat

Install the Inky-Phat, run the examples to know that it's working.
Clone this code to your pi i.e. git clone https://github.com/EnglishAlex/SunsetTracker.git
Running sunrise.py opens the sunrise2020.csv reads the sunrise/set times and renders the InkyPhat.
Set the crontab to run script every few minutes pi.cron.txt

Convert a jupyter notebook to python script jupyter nbconvert --to script <your notebook>.ipynb --output <your new scriptfile.py
