tronbyt-okmesonet

Oklahoma Mesonet current conditions for a 64×32 Tronbyt/Tidbyt display, written in Pixlet/Starlark. The app and its full README live in apps/okmesonet/ — this repo mirrors the tronbyt/apps layout so the app directory can be submitted upstream as-is.

test_parse.star       # self-running unit tests (root: pixlet load paths are
                      # resolved against the root applet's directory)
tests/fixtures/       # real captured feed rows for the tests

Development

Built against tronbyt/pixlet (v0.50+).

# Run the unit tests (any assertion failure aborts the render loudly):
pixlet render test_parse.star -o /tmp/test_out.webp

# Run the app:
pixlet render apps/okmesonet/ok_mesonet.star && open apps/okmesonet/ok_mesonet.webp
pixlet serve apps/okmesonet/ok_mesonet.star

# Validate like tronbyt/apps CI does:
pixlet check apps/okmesonet

# Refresh the baked station list (~120 reporting stations):
python3 scripts/gen_stations.py
