Hi, from last year was working properly, now since last month I'm getting "weather data error", in the IP of the PC is OK, only I can't update the firmware, and in the user, i write my web user and password, but I still get the same error. Can you help?

Hello, could you make this soft display in Polish?
I am not good at programming and I would like to have such a clock with the weather.
Thank you in advance.

How can i also display temp and humidity taked from dht11 sensor?

[MarioLombardini]

it's a beautiful project but have you tried to connect it to the smartphone hotspot? I use an Android 11 smartphone and after displaying the ip, it freezes when it displays the three dots and the bar on the left. If I deactivate the hotspot, the information is displayed (date, time, etc.) but obviously it does not update the information after 15 minutes.

Hi, I also create this clock. But can't modify any API values from web interface for authentication problem. When I click on "Configure TimeZoneDB with API key" then it' prompt me for login. I tried several time to login with user=admin and password=password but refuse me to enter. Could you please what is the problem?

can i display the messages from repetier-server on this display?? octoprint i have not installed. thank you for this project and greetings from germany

Wow this is like one I made a few years ago. Mine plays music and IR remote control but also does weather. I will have to make this one to practice getting the news etc. Also I don't have the scrolling like you have, will have to figure out how you got that to work. I only have one character per led block. somehow you squeezed 5 chars into 4 spaces. hmmm. I'm impressed!

Hi Qromer, with the present versions of Arduino and libraries the code does not compile saying that there is an obsolete API, do you know of an updated version on the internet please

[GaetanoBorroneDJ]

Can i flash .bin fw that is on github on my esp8266 ? (Not wemos d1)

[nigel]

I have created this project using 8 panels and after a bit of tweaking it works fab. The only problem is I cannot get the weather section to display mph rather than km/hr for the windspeed

[sandrofabbro]
