Galactic Unicorn Scrolling Quote Demo

This is small demonstration of pulling a quote from a remote web server, and scrolling it on the Unicorn.

This is provided as an example of the PicoW Boilerplate in action; it uses both the config and httpclient libraries from there to manage the fetching of data.

Once you copy the uf2 onto your Galactic Unicorn and the device has rebooted, it should mount a 'PicoW' drive on which you will find the CONFIG.TXT file. Adding your WiFi credentials to this file should prompt the device to fetch a suitable quote and start scrolling it.

The quote is pulled from Quotable, largely because it (a) doesn't require authentication and (b) doesn't require TLS1.3!

Controls

The LUX buttons adjust the brightness of the message.

Pressing the 'A' button will request a fresh quote from the server.

Share & Enjoy.
