A tiny weather clock, using only a Wemos D1 Mini and a 128x32 OLED. The clock shows the time, atmospheric pressure, apparent temperature, and the probability it will rain.
You will need to visit: https://darksky.net/dev/register
Get your API key and the latitude and longitude of the location you want to monitor. Make the neccessary changes in the main.py file.
I have also included the Adafruit OLED driver for MicroPython. Make sure you load this file onto the Wemos.
To get network access, enter your WiFi password and ssid in boot.py.
The Wemos contacts the Darksky API once every two minues for weather updates. This keeps it under the 1,000-request daily limit.
