More progress! I’ve finally reached the stage of improving how it looks, instead of just tinkering under the hood.
I spent two hours trying to figure out how to resize my icons, and another hour trying to figure out how to upload a font. Front end is really hard.
But I’m well on my way to a fully operational, useful weather forecast display! And with my new API, openmeteo, I have way less String parsing to do, which is good for both performance and readability.
For instance:
This code was refactored from this nightmare:
Using int is so much easier! Especially since in Arduino, there are Strings, strings, and char*, none of which play nice with one another.
I’m learning a lot from this project, and I’m excited for what the end product will look like.
