Loving my inky phat black/white. No issues installing and running the weather script on-demand but I want it to update every 10 mins.
I followed this link: https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/need-help-with-inky-phat-crontab-update/7207?u=owls04
I made the updates to the file structure as where the weather example lies is different. The cron job appears to not run. Any ideas? I can post my code as necessary.
Welcome to the forums! Yeah, we’d need to see the line that you’re adding to your crontab. I suspect it’ll be an issue with the path to the image files…
Here is the cron jobs:
*/10 * * * * /home/pi/weather.sh
I also have the reboot script below that line
Here is what weather.sh looks on the desktop:
I think you need a new line after cd /home/pi/Pimoroni/inky/examples/phat. Try running the script in the terminal before adding it to your crontab, to make sure that it works as it should.
So is there another scheduler I could try? Obviously cron is not working
You’ve still got a syntax error in your bash script. It should be as follows:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/pi/Pimoroni/inky/examples/phat
python weather-phat.py --colour "black"
