A simple weather dashboard for the Pi Pico.

Fetches weather data from OpenWeather and displays it on an e-paper display.

• Raspberry Pi Pico W
• Waveshare 2.13inch e-Paper HAT

• MicroPython
• OpenWeather API key

Ensure you have MicroPython installed on the Pico W.

1. Clone the repository.
2. Copy config.txt.example to config.txt and fill in the required values.

Copy the Python files in the root directory and the config.txt file to the Pico W.

Example using microupload.py script:

$ python3 ./scripts/microupload.py -v /dev/cu.usbmodem14101 config.txt display.py images.py main.py net.py render.py utils.py weather.py

Alternatively, you can use the mpremote tool to copy the files to the Pi Pico.

$ mpremote connect /dev/cu.usbmodem14101 cp *.py config.txt :

Note The : at the end of the command is important. It tells mpremote to copy the files to the root directory of the Pi Pico.

Activate the virtual environment:

source venv/bin/activate

Install mpremote - MicroPython Remote Control:

pip install mpremote

Then to open a REPL session:

mpremote

To exit:
