Devlog #3 of the Badgeware Tufty Weatherstation

The Badgeware Tufty is this cool conference badge from Pimoroni that is programmable with MicroPython. I’ve been making a Weather Station app for it, which can use a Pimoroni multisensor kit to show temperature, humidity and air pressure, but soon it will be able to fetch weather data around the world from the internet.

In the previous devlogs I added the multisensor screen. Now I’ve started working on the weather from the internet part. So far it gets coordinates from options.json, and can show the suburb/neighbourhood and the city from Openstreetmap Nominatim. You can also optionally set a nickname for a location.

Next up I’ll actually be putting the weather info in.
That’ll involve getting data from Openmeteo, drawing a bunch of pixel art icons for each (~80) weather codes and rendering out the data.
