DAY 3-4: HOW’S THE WEATHER DOWN THERE
(corny title i know)
After numerous attempts to connect the display to my iphone via the nimBLE library, it never ended up working and I pivoted to working on the online dashboard - which I made decent progress on. To make things worse, my display ended up breaking, with vertical glitch stripes forming due to a small chip on the side on the screen I hadn’t noticed. I spent over 3 hours trying different methods to reset the display. Finally, I got WiFi working, and implemented the weather part of my online dashboard using the openweather API. Tomorrow, I will finish the “weather” section, possibly adding icons for visualization, and start on the “spotify” section, which will implement the spotfiy API.
(i know it may seem like i didnt do much in 10 hours but the chip in the screen and outdated vendor libraries made this a pain in the ass the debug)
