ESP8266 Demo weather test file from web site

Post by Pactor »

Hello
I've been playing with this file I downloaded from the web site, all seems to work fine but no data appears.
It connects to my home wifi and opens the socket ect, but no data is ever fetched.
It does not seem to be sending the request.
I'm baffled again.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks very much
Mark

Hi Mark,

Are you using the latest version of the components. You need to use the Help -> Check for updates menu to get the latest bug fixes and improvements.

Change the drop down from files in use to full database to get the latest of everything.

If you're already using the latest then I will investigate for you.

I'm just trying out the free trial version of FC8, I think something came up and it downloaded some updates.
They are making me work so I'll check when I get home.
I expect I'm doing something stupid.
Thanks.

The BBC weather component worked lovely, I was just wondering should the socket be left open or opened and closed between readings.
Thanks

Not knowing this specific example, in general, what is the time between updates? If > 30 seconds the other party will be glad to have their resources back for another request so close the socket.

It's not keen on negative temps from the BBC but that was easy calculate out.
