What is the maximum length of characters that can be received on the serial port on the Explore 100?
I can't figure a way to power my outdoor weather micromite by solar here in the UK reliably, so I'm going to try a different way to do the weather.
I plan on using en ESP8266 to receive the weather from Wunderground and then parse and display it
ESP Basic hasn't got the capability to receive and parse the amount of info so what I plan on doing is passing it direct to the Micromite
What I want to know is will the Micromite be capable of receiving the following amount of data and then parsing it?
If I call the current weather the responce would this amount of data

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.
