…in the meanwhile, please can you try to add the following 2 lines at the begin of the pico-weather.py script and let me know if this fixes?

import machine
if machine.reset_cause() == machine.DEEPSLEEP_RESET: machine.reset()

Hi Simon. I will try to re-assemble the project again in these days and let you know. It’s really strange

Thanks for any clue.

Ok, thanks. Found that the new 3.0 API call should work with a small change in the code, by changing my “pico-weather.py” script at this line:
url_call="https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat="+lat+\
with this:
url_call="https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat="+lat+\

To make it work, after signin in you probably need to subscribe the One Call API 3.0 from https://openweathermap.org/api.
So, they assure that the first 1000 API calls are for free, but you need anyway to put your credit card in the subscription. They also allow you to set this limit in the “Billing plan” tab in your Personal account.

Now, I usually don’t want to force my readers to use credit card for any of the projects i show them, so I will evaluate to find an alternative. But you are free to proceed with OpenWeather in this way (please let me know, also for feedback)

The One Call API 2.5 has been deprecated on June 2024, new is One Call API 3.0. Your script doesnt work.

Hi Tom,
this part in my script doesn’t need to be manually changed, as it uses the official API call URL from OpenWeather. This URL gets the correct values (longitude, exclude, units, and API Key) from the variables set at earlier stage in the script.
Please let me know if I didn’t understand correctly your question

Who is in actually API …”/onecall…”. Its good? My English is bad…

I’m really happy that you learned to make this not easy project and how to debug these errors with the help of my blog. This is why I keep going on: having people new or quite new to microelectronics and programming able to build their projects. Thank you for your feedback about the error, I’ll try to manage this exception also in my code

So! I ran into another KeyError on rain from the daily forecast. If there is no rain, the API does not return the rain value. I had to do
try:
rain_qty=str(forecast[“daily”][0][“rain”])
except KeyError:
rain_qty=”0″

I don’t know if this is the best solution, but I feel a little impressed with myself since I know very, very little about programming but I was able to get it to work 😀

🤣
