I have ported a remote weather app to Picoexplorer

Discussion

Uses latest firmware from Pinorami
MicroPython v1.21.0, picow v1.21.0 on 2023-10-06; Raspberry Pi Pico W with RP2040

you may have to set up your own api at open weather and put in your location at line 21

sorry about code layout dont know how to attach file

Click the Preformatted Text button, the </>.
The other way to do it is three ` at the top of your block of code, and three more at the end / bottom.

The ` is on the key next to the 1 key. It also has the ~ on it. On an English keyboard anyway.

I’ve got a UK Pi Keyboard and the ’ is below the @ and the ~ is above the #.

The easiest way is to click the Preformatted Text option, </>.

modified the picoexplorer weather app so it can send weather alerts via sms, whatsapp or email.
