I made a custom TRMNL plugin to tell me whether it’s worth taking the telescope up!

trmnl device looks perfect for my use case ( on the wall output of my greenhouse sensor data ), how do you find the plugin writng?

Is the 20$ developer edition upgrade required?

Would love to know your experience

This works something like that: www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/night/

Nice! I used the Astronomy API for planet positions and the 7Timer API for astronomy weather conditions, I wonder if they’re using those as well.

TimeAndDate has a lotta money. Really cool that you rolled your own appliance!

Nice! Which model of eink display is that?

It’s the TRMNL. I plan to share my plugin eventually too, but need to develop a few different layouts for different display options before I can submit it, so it’s just a private plugin for now.

Ah ok. I wasn’t aware it was a product - my bad! Looking for a good eink display for a project lol.

Never heard of it but poking around their website it looks interesting; how do you like it?

I like it a lot! As a software developer that stares at LCD screens all work day, I’m really into e-ink/single-purpose tech outside of work. I found their UI framework docs for custom plugins a bit lacking, but eventually got everything working.
