Enviro+ weather display

Is there code available for the weather display with the orange background shown in the product listing?

I do believe that is this display.

And the examples are here

I had a quick look at the all in one py file in the enviro+ examples

pimoroni/enviroplus-python/blob/master/examples/all-in-one.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import time
import colorsys
import os
import sys
import ST7735
try:
    # Transitional fix for breaking change in LTR559
    from ltr559 import LTR559
    ltr559 = LTR559()
except ImportError:
    import ltr559

from bme280 import BME280
from pms5003 import PMS5003, ReadTimeoutError as pmsReadTimeoutError
from enviroplus import gas
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageDraw

This file has been truncated. show original

I “think” you need to edit this line under the # Set up canvas and font
img = Image.new(‘RGB’, (WIDTH, HEIGHT), color=(0, 0, 0))
change color to color=(255, 140, 0)
It goes as follows (R, G, B) 0 is off and 255 is full bright for that color LED. Play with the green 140 setting to get the orange color you want.

Thanks for the help. I was pointed over to this code by support: https://github.com/pimoroni/enviroplus-python/blob/enviro-non-plus/examples/weather-and-light.py

Now having and issue with this line on a raspian lite install:
from fonts.ttf import RobotoMedium as UserFont

I have installed fonts with PIP so not sure what I am missing now.

I’m not sure what to do either. My Linux skills are about average at best.

Try copying the font sub-directory into the same directory as the code is running from.

Thanks for the help.

Tried that with no luck. Also just rebuilt the pi zero from scratch with a full Raspian install just to test.

Same issue. I was able to bypass that font issue with another line of code but now other errors related to coding for different Python versions I think. I sent a note directly to support also.

Looks like I may just have to try to go through all of it to see how each piece fails.
