What's it do?

This project was another bordom-fighting exercise. It shows the positions of the planets at a particular date and time.

It also lets you "play" the animation through at about ~30 FPS (which ticks at a rate of 1 day per frame).

The maths used in this project is from Paul Schlyter, and I encourage you to read it as he explains it very well.

Which has:

Install Bodmer's TFT_eSPI library and:

In User_Setup_Select.h
- Comment out ALL setups except #include <User_Setup.h>
In User_Setup.h
- Change the contents to the one in this repo.
In TFT_eSPI.cpp
- Head to the bottom and move #include <Extensions/Button.cpp> out of the #if TOUCH_CS conditional

Install NTPClient
