RocketLaunchPi

2019-06-20 PYTHON3 version

RocketLaunchPi displays the next space launch from planet Earth on an LCD screen using your Raspberry Pi (including a Pi Zero) ) including the vehicle name, location, status, and date/time of the launch in local time. If the launch is imminent, it even plays a count down and blast off sound effects.

This project retrieves Launch data from the excellent site www.launchlibrary.net via its JSON API interface. It then displays information for the next launch on the LCD screen. Audio effects are played if the launch is imminent.

See RocketLaunchPi.pdf for details.
