Exoplanets Transit simulator
This was posted to Mastodon by Dr. Alexandre Santerne. Just had a go and it looks really nice and smooth, and has few options to change the simulation parameters.
Do you know how #astronomers are hunting for #exoplanets ? Most of them are discovered with the transit and/or radial velocity techniques.
We developed at #LAM (#laboratoire d'#astrophysique de #Marseille) a web tool that simulate an #exoplanet and show you their photometric and radial velocity signals. Feel free to play with the parameters and see how they change the signals.

STEM Group 12/8/2023
The next stem group will be on 12th July 2023, 11am to 15:00. We will carry on from the previous code club, but also look at our own projects a bit more.
Due to a science festival on the ground floor support for activities in the IT room will be limited. I will be undertaking some science activities on the ground floor, which will include

This is the new warm up drill. The idea of this is to develop footwork skills.

Pi pico Larson Scanner part 3
Following Saturdays STEM Group meet up, Where Vance has rewirtten my scanner program so that it is more efficient. I have included the new code below. I have now made an improvement by adding a 10 segment LED display and getting this working my modifying the code that Vance helped me with.
The new code, using an array to store pin numbers is below
#flash on board pico led
# updated 1/7/2023 - working code
import machine
import utime
# Vance
led_pins = [11,12,13,14,15]
#delay = input("Time Delay: ")
#bind leds gpip to variables
leds = []
for pin in led_pins:
# Set to output
leds.append(machine.Pin(pin, machine.Pin.OUT))
# Turn the LED off
leds[-1].value(0) #off
utime.sleep(3)
delay = 0.1 #set delay
while True:
# Led sequence upwards
for led in leds:
led.value(1)
utime.sleep(delay)
led.value(0)
# Led sequence downwards
for led in leds[-1:0:-1]:
led.value(1)
utime.sleep(delay)
led.value(0)
While my new code modification is here.
# use 10 led segment display
led_pins = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,]
Which is just 1 line of actual code and a comment. The result of this is presented in the video below. I had to resolder the board with the LED display on as it had some joints missing.
