 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Is there anyone that can and is willing to try and explain to me how to use the Dark Sky API? Their online support page here I can't use it with an ESP8266 or similar or even a MM because there's over 30,000 characters in a reading Sample API call if you want to see what it returns I'm thinking about doing it in a web page type app or does anyone have any ideas how to download it ready to use the MM to display what's returned? I found This which seems to be some way of parsing it on a web page on a server which I could use (if I knew how) I can't make head nor tail of the instructions on the page It's not written for people that's unfamiliar with it |

I would advise to not go this way. It will add a point of failure which is not under your control. An ESP should have about 80Kb of working RAM. Not sure how much of that is left after loading a program. Unfortunately JSON is very verbose. A CSV output would use probably only 20% of the amount of data. Microblocks. Build with logic. |
