I rechecked all the installation steps on a fresh linux and I had no errors
Well. Some good news... I realised I probably was running on a lite raspbian install... I made a fresh, full install and got things working. The screen still looks a bit strange. The menu bar stays visible, pushing the weather off screen. Als wind writes just over the weather and is formatted for a bigger screen...
To add to this... I use the 2.5"tft display
It crashes...

Well. Some good news... I realised I probably was running on a lite raspbian install... I made a fresh, full install and got things working. The screen still looks a bit strange. The menu bar stays visible, pushing the weather off screen. Als wind writes just over the weather and is formatted for a bigger screen...
I fixed this for myself by enabling auto-hide of the panel. And I also had to turn off the wind info, since I don't have stations for my region. But the dpi of the 3.5 "display is really too small for this project.
small update: I added icons for low resolutions and time repair for 12 hours https://github.com/ciprian288/PiWeatherRock-Windguru-Holfuy
I hope the hide will move the display up for the - now - missing pixels.
But the dpi of the 3.5 "display is really too small for this project.
That's where I must disagree... These project are extremely suitable for the smaller screens in my opinion! I don't want my hous littered with relative big screens displaying stuff :) But like I said, just my opninion. This one works fine by now :)
I'm trying to install PiWeatherRock from Win10x64, using elevated PS and followed the steps on the install page. I'm getting the error code Could not find a task named "piweatherrock::pisetup". I see where Marcel got it last year too, but it looks like his solution was to use Ubuntu instead of Win10. Is there an updated Win10 method I'm missing?
on your windguru favorite station link it must contain 'station' like this https://www.windguru.cz/station/XXXX
I apologize in advance for what is probably a stupid question but... I'm a newbie. I've got everything installed on my pi via windows and I have the http://mylittlepi.local:8888/ page running. However, I have no idea what it wants for an API Key or how I get it. Can anyone offer some advice?

Hi all! I’m preparing for the next phase of PiWeatherRock which includes both a new weather provider and a simpler installation method. To that end, what do you all think about the app being packaged as a Flatpak?
I think it will be cool and interesting.

https://piweatherrock.technicalissues.us/docs/ should have what you need. Let me know if you have issues though
BTW, Matrix clients such as FkuffyChat can be used and are way better than the Gitter client:

Hello, I have a Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2p. This has 3 buttons that are not programmed. Is there a solution here to assign the 3 screens (daily forecast, hourly, forecast info screen) to each of them. The screens are currently jumping back and forth on a timed basis. Thanks in advance. Thomas
Hi Thomas Klein! I think you should be able to assign the keyboard shortcut for each screen to a button.
Hi Gene. I had PiWeatherRock installed years ago and loved it. I can find no equal. But I'm not a programmer and can get lost. I tried to install this again last fall but couldn't get a working API. Is there one now? Are the installation instructions in the document current? Either way, thanks for doing this in the first place. It really rocks. It rocks..... It.... I guess that was a Dad joke....
mbaranak (mbaranak): glad you liked it! If you still have your old api key then you can reinstall and still use it. If not then, unfortunately, it does work right now because new keys are not offered by darksky. I do have a plan for migrating the program to a new weather provider, I just haven’t gotten to it. Procrastination keeps getting in the way.
Hi Gene, unfortunately I haven't been able to control the GPIOs (12, 16 and 18) yet. Do I have to define the GPIOs in config.py or in config.txt? Does anyone know? So in the way dtoverlay gpio-shutdown gpio_pin=12,active_low=1 and then in weather.py with if MODE == 'd' or GPIO.event_detected(12)? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Hi, it takes much longer for the info screen to appear for me than switching between daily and hourly. How can I set the same time for all screen changes? Thanks!
Thomas Klein: honestly, I’ve never setup the physical buttons, sorry!
Regarding the info screen, you can change the timings from the advanced view of the web based config page that’s at http://<host name>:8888
Hello Gene, OK, I'll try the web based config page. Thank you for the fast answer!
