Please ignore my request as I have found the information on moon phase through a different API which doesn’t need an origin, namely Moon Phase on RapidAPI.com

I was trying to build your moon phase project which used Astronomy API on a Pico W.
In any case my problem comes before I start coding. I want to generate an Application ID but it asks for a url but I don’t have one and don’t know how to get one.
I understand that you have other thing so I’m happy for you to take as long as you want or if it is too onerous to tell me you can’t help.
Regards
Peter

Interesting API. AstronomyAPI is intended for Python (not MicroPython), so you should use a Raspberry PI computer board instead of a Raspberry PI Pico microcontroller. I will try to look at it in the next week ends. Stay tuned!

I thought I’d give it a go but am stuck with AstronomyAPI. I have set up a user. I then try to set up the application id and there I get stuck. It asks for an origin url but I don’t have one. Any suggestions on how I can get round this.
Thanks in anticipation
Peter

Hi Fred,
Please can you tell me more on your project at giuseppe@peppe8o.com? I need to know what pieces you would like to use, how you want to make them work together and what is the wished output

I’ve been trying to control multiple 7 and 16 segment displays using a 16×8 HT16K33 matrix driver backpack and the Pico but everything I’ve found online is based on the Arduino. For the life of me, I can’t even get one segment display to work with it even with Adafruit’s circuitpython drivers. Would you have any suggestions on where to start?

Hi Myles,
generally, with those displays based on LED you have to create a function that converts the character you want to show into the 1 or 0 based on what leds has to be put on for that char. It can be made with a char map that makes this conversion.
After this, you will pass the 1/0 string to the display according to the display interface

Hi Bertalan,
please try:
x=”.”

code:
x = 9(when i put the . here it exit with invalid syntax.

SegDisplay(str(x))

Thanks for help!
(i want to use the display with a stepper motor)
