When I use "WEB NTP +10" and get the message "got ntp response: 17/04/2024 08:26:04" how do I access this info to set the RTC? or does it automatically update the Time$ and Date$ and I can use that to RTC SETTIME ?

No need. That should happen automatically.
I haven't tried with an external RTC but it works for the built-in RTC.

After "got ntp response: 17/04/2024 08:26:04" has set Time$ and Date$ do:-

RTC SETTIME DateTime$(now)

Thanks Jim, on thinking about it, I dont think I need an external RTC if I can keep the clock updated from the WEB.

Thanks Phil, I will try to remember DateTime$(Now)

Can someone help me with this response?

"[CYW43] do_ioctl(2, 263, 16): timeout"

I believe it is related to the WEB NTP command.

Quote "[CYW43] do_ioctl(2, 263, 16): timeout"

...is a problem I've been chasing for ages, but it's not just restricted to the NTP command. Can't narrow it down any more than that for you, sorry... I'm still trying to nut the 'inner workings' out thus far...

Here is my next stumbling block:

mm.ver=5.08

Dim Web$="api.openweathermap.org"
Const Key="???????????????????????????"
Const Query="GET/data/2.5/WEATHER?q=Paris,fra&APPID="+Key+Chr$(13)+Chr$(10)

Dim buff%(4096/8)
Dim temp

WEB OPEN TCP CLIENT Web$, 80
WEB TCP CLIENT REQUEST Query, buff%()
WEB CLOSE TCP CLIENT

temp=Val(Json$(buff%(),"main.temp"))

Returns

tcp address 38.89.70.158
Connected
[113] temp=Val(Json$(buff%(),"main.temp"))
Error : Invalid JSON data

Help please

GET /data

You need a space between GET and the /

and the returned temperature might be in Kelvin so -273

"[CYW43] do_ioctl(2, 263, 16): timeout" was a problem for me too. I don't think it's WEB NTP though as you can trap a connection error there very effectively (and connections usually work first time for me). IIRC it was related to using Telnet and I had to shut Tera Term down and reconnect. (It was just one of the problems so I may be confused about what I did in each case!).

Most problems needed a reset button on the Pico W.

Thanks Mick.

Thanks Jim, I re-inserted the space after GET and the error is no longer but the string returned is still empty.

Print Json$(buff%(),"main.temp")

Does not print anything

Where would I find a list of the key words that should be stored in the string?

add the line

LONGSTRING PRINT buff%()

Then you can see what, if anything, has been received

Thanks Peter, I found the list of JSON words on the website and somewhere along the line I had typed the word weather in caps and that wasn't liked.

I am making progress again

OA47: Very nice!

Are you using openweathermap's free 1,000 calls per day service?

This looks like a very nice addition to a digital clock app, now that you've worked out the bulk of the bugs :-)

Posted: 10:32pm 17 Apr 2024 Copy link to clipboard	OA47 Guru

From the website I have this list of information:

Quote {
"coord": {
"lon": 10.99,
"lat": 44.34
},
"weather": [
{
"id": 501,
"main": "Rain",
"description": "moderate rain",
"icon": "10d"
}
],
"base": "stations",
"main": {
"temp": 298.48,
"feels_like": 298.74,
"temp_min": 297.56,
"temp_max": 300.05,
"pressure": 1015,
"humidity": 64,
"sea_level": 1015,
"grnd_level": 933
},
"visibility": 10000,
"wind": {
"speed": 0.62,
"deg": 349,
"gust": 1.18

I am able to get all the static info such as:

Min=Val((Json$(buff%(),"main.temp_min")))-273
Max=Val((Json$(buff%(),"main.temp_max")))-273
Prs$=Json$(buff%(),"main.pressure")
Hum$=Json$(buff%(),"main.humidity")

But I would like to get the string$ for

Quote "main": "Rain",
"description": "moderate rain"

but I cannot get the syntax correct.
Further from the site.

Quote weather (more info Weather condition codes)
weather.id Weather condition id
weather.main Group of weather parameters (Rain, Snow, Clouds etc.)
weather.description Weather condition within the group. Please find more here. You can get the output in your language. Learn more
weather.icon Weather icon id

I have tried using "weather.main" and "weather.description" but I only get a blank.

Ideas please.

From some effort two and a half years ago, I have

Print json$(m%(),"weather[0].description")

If I recall correctly, the [0] is because of the square brackets following "weather:".

Thankyou very much lizby that fixed the problem for "weather.main" and "weather.description"

Is this what you were thinking?

Almost exactly! I have an analog clock, patterned after Swiss railway clock face, and will be very happy to add this to it. It picks up UTP once an hour. I think picking up weather once every 5 to 15 minutes to stay well below the 1k per day charge limit.
