Feature request: Tidal information

[vanosg]

@n0bel this is an amazing project, you did a fantastic job developing it, and an even better job documenting it! Hats off for that.

Do you think there is any chance of integrating tidal information onto a screen? ie, high tide/low tide? If you could rough in a place on the GUI, I'd be happy to code up something to parse an API. NOAA offers an API that might be of use via https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/api/ as an example. Please let me know if I can assist! Thanks again

@vanosg what kind of data are you looking for? Just High/Low times?

[vanosg]

Yes, just the next high and low (or maybe two sets of high and low, if there is space for it, but I think that may be ambitious)

I added another hand to the PiClock to track the tide movement. 12 o’clock is high tide and 6 o’clock is low tide. The hand moves as it tracks the tide.

This sounds amazing! Is the code available somewhere?

Let me get the openweather conversion done first and I’ll post the tide clock hand code. I am having to convert to qt5 and python 3 as qt4 seems to not be available anymore.
