From the Forums: GPS satellite data display for PiTFT #space #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
William Phelps shared a screencapture from his project-in-progress – a GPS satellite data display for PiTFT he has been sharing on the Adafruit Forums:
I’ve written a python program to display GPS satellite data, with some stars and the brighter planets, specifically for the PiTFT display. The GPS parsing is done in a separate thread. The display is unique – it plots circles for each GPS satellite that is overhead, with the size of the circle proportional to the S/N ratio. It even has 10 second position averaging.

And wish him Happy Birthday — he was born on Pi Day!
Each Friday is PiDay here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Raspberry Pi related products. Adafruit has the largest and best selection of Raspberry Pi accessories and all the code & tutorials to get you up and running in no time!
Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.
I did something similar using HTML5 (since I usually have a media player, tablet, or smartphone). And I earlier did Star and planet plots, but need to add that back (it was for the Nokia).

But it is cool.
