Project discontinued due to unavailable API!

Sadly, the r/SpaceX-API is no longer active, so this project does not work, But thankfully @rizzl3r ( Thank you :D ) continued development of this project and is now using a different+better API and fixed some other stuff.

His new repo


SpaceX-Launch-Tracker

Install

Install PIL library:

python3 -m pip install Pillow

Also, you need to enable SPI in your raspi-config:

sudo raspi-config

Go to "Interface Options" and enable SPI.

Thats it! Now you can run the program:

python3 main.py

Note:

This Program was designed for the Waveshare 2.13 Inch E-Paper Display (Red/Black/White)! You can buy it here.

You can find a tutorial here

Description

This code uses the Pillow library to create the image which will be shown on the display.

The Display show all important informations about the next launch like these:

  • Name of the next rocket (and the rocket after that)
  • If it lands
  • If it was reused
  • how often it was reused
  • when the rocket will launch
  • The time the display refreshed itself
  • The SpaceX logo works as a "Progress Bar" (Left side of X=Last launch, Right side= next launch, edge between red/black = current time)
