You’ll likely have to roll the weather.py code, or part of it, from here,
Into the breakout garden file, removing the OLED i2c stuff.
I’d open the two files up in two separate instances of idle, or what ever IDE you like and compare them. Then trade code from one to the other.
Thanks. I was hoping I could just substitute a line but I think you’re right that I’ll have to cut and paste code. I know the display works. I’ll have to dig into the examples for displaying text. At least I have a new project.
I was hoping / thinking it would be that simple also, until I looked at the code. =(
I’ve done lots of i2c stuff, but next to no SPI coding. I’m not sure I even have any SPI doflickys.
Somebody was bored, lol. :P =)
Ah, Ok, I hadn’t even looked at the code for the breakout garden itself.
All my breakouts are plugged into one big solderless breadboard.
You appear to be well on your way to getting it working, have fun.
I don’t think there is any specific code for the BG except for designating the SPI slot. The I2C boards take care of themselves. The single SPI slot on the BG Mini is slot 1 instead of slot 0, which threw me off.
I’m also retired, I know what you mean. I usually have all kinds of free time to play with.
Too many other distractions this time of year though, so just finding time to get on the forum has been tough.
Anyway, hopefully its smooth sailing getting your weather setup going. I’ll be upgrading mine when I find time. I may just wait till the weekend to start.
