Build a space station alert system

Here’s an interesting little project in which we’ll learn how to get data from the web and use it to tell us when the International Space Station will fly overhead, with the help of Pimoroni’s Unicorn HAT LED board (£25.50 from http://bit.ly/ lxf251unicorn).

Ground control

With the Raspberry Pi unpowered, connect the Unicorn HAT so that it fits neatly on top of the Pi, connecting to all 40 GPIO pins. Connect your keyboard, mouse, HDMI and power to the Pi and boot to the desktop. You will need the Pi connected to the internet
