A weather app that both pulls from a multisensor strip, and/or the internet for the Badgeware Tufty!
Added an option to use Fahrenheit or Kelvin instead of Celsius by editing options.json on the computer
I’m making a weather app for the Badgeware Tufty, a cool badge wearable that’s programmable with MicroPython!
First step that I’ve done for my app is coding a screen that shows the temperature, humidity and air pressure sensed from the multisensor strip that comes with the Badgeware Tufty STEM kit. I’ve made 30 pixel art icons so far that scale with the values.
Next up I’ll be adding the option to grab weather data from the internet using Openmeteo API for the weather data and Openstreetmap nominatim to get a place name. The locations would have to be configured through a JSON config file on the computer as the 5 buttons on the Tufty aren’t really enough for this kind of input. Maybe there could be some web UI to pick coordinates off a map and update the config file?
