The Weather forecast on LED matrix is a fun example, but suppose I wish to extend it. For example, maybe not just show the general weather symbol, maybe I want to scroll text, like the current temperature and/or how much rain. ... How do I do it? The documentation for this sketch and brick poi…

I did some other example with API and temperature/time display here: [image] GitHub - msveshnikov/Arduino Contribute to msveshnikov/Arduino development by creating an account on GitHub. You can put whatever custom logic to Python, without bricks

Thanks, Will take a look. Right now I am just playing around. I assumed I one could do it using Python directly and bypassing the usage of bricks. Also wish I could do it directly using c++ but that is a different subject. But I am curious on Arduino's ideas on how the concepts of bricks wil…

Basically looks like you have to extend the brick yourself. I was experimenting with using the api directly based on what I found here: :sun_behind_rain_cloud: Docs | Open-Meteo.com which would print Coordinates: 52.52000045776367°N 13.419998168945312°E Elevation: 38.0 m asl Timezone difference to…

@Merlin513 - Looks like fun. @ptillisch - Side question will try to look up. What if any are the limitations of using Monitor.print type statements when you are using Bricks? I was curious how fast the matrixWrite are so I instrumented the Arduino code with: Monitor.begin(); within setup() vo…
