Hi All,
I'm trying to download the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Weather and (ideally) Forecast data into a Picomite via an ESP8266 (for display on a 3.5" ILI 9488 TFT).

Has anyone succeeded with a Picomite (or other MMBasic machine)?

Using Peter's recent code for JSON I can access OpenWeather weather data for my Melbourne location but their Forecast offering is quite limited - the BoM data seems to be more comprehensive (and I assume it may be better as it is local??)

Any comments would be most appreciated.

Regards,

Andrew
