My weather clock built from spare parts, A Pi A+ and Sense Hat, that had glitched, has been couple of days. I guess it was the dead battery on the DS3231 that caused my error? Or the Lexar SD card? I won't know if was the SD card until i try that card in another Pi. I have a spare Pi Zero to test it in, just have to find my round 2it.

right now its a hot 26 lol, manual wall thermostats are so hard to get a good setting ,,I have programable ones in the other rooms ,we don't usually use this room , cats destroyed the chesterfield in the living room ,I tossed it out for spring heavy garbage pickup .got some income tax returns, new chesterfield in near future, I miss the view out the picture windows !

Temp should be green up to 22c, then orange from 23 to 25, then red above 25. I think that's how the current ones goes? It's ether red then orange or orange then red.
My other weather Pi, the one with the three graphing displays has been running fine 24/7 for a month or more. It was glitching but I resoldered a couple of contacts and its looks like that fixed it.

lol, fine time to check, but I have just enough headers for my three new PICO's on hand. That order shipped today. They use 2 single row 20 pin male headers each. I had just enough long ones that i won't have to double up smaller ones to get 20 pins. I don't mind doing that, it just makes things easier soldering wise if its one header per side.

I'll leave it alone .its a nice color, lol

Code:

elif t >= 25 and t < 30:
        tc = [255, o, w]  # Orange
        msg = "and it's a Hot %sc" % (t)
elif t >= 30:
        tc = [255, w, w]    # Red
        msg = "and it's a Very Hot %sc" % (t)

I had it wrong, green up to 24c, then orange up to 29c, and red if its 30 or above. That's one of those files I just can't seem to leave alone. Little tweaks every so often.

EDIT: depending on the light in the room orange can look red and vise versa. I've had to to tweak the R, G, B numbers depending on whether its a sense hat or unicorn hat. Kind of depends on the LED's used. And my eyes aren't a good reference, I am partially color blind. The o=(140) is the line to edit if you want to tweak the orange color. In the end it equates to (255, 140, 0) the 140 is how much green is added to red.

The suspense, hope it something cool! and useful

Just got an e-mail from my contact at the Pi Foundation. My "stuff" should be boxed up and sent by the end of this week. No mention of what said "stuff" is so I guess it will be a surprise when I open the box.

thought /know ,you would like this ,you likely have already seen it .
