Using a Pi Pico W to get the elevation of a satellite and display it on an ssd1306 display. It also uses an 8 LED WS2812 stick to show information downloading, and changes color based on elevation.

The satellite ID in the code is 47309 which is CAPE-3 from UL Lafayette.

This code takes a Pi Pico W and checks the API at N2YO.com to see if a satellite is overhead.


The LED colors are based on the elevation of the satellite.

-15 to 0 degrees

1 to 15 degrees

+15 degrees


NOTE:

You will need to update the wifi.py file with your SSIDs for wireless connectivity.
