It should show „März“ (german) but it shows something like „M-ñrz“

How can I change that?

And a question not an issue: How can I select the news source „countrys and categorys“ instead of the „publishers“? Because it only displays „publishers“ on the marquee. When i select the country, on the marquee: -

Sorry special characters are not supported by the font driver.

rapmann02 commented 5 years ago

Ok, no Problem. An other question. How can I select the news source of the country? Because when I select it, it shows nothing or the headlines of the „publisher“ which I used before.

Sorry, the implementation using the https://newsapi.org/ -- is really based on some simple uses of major news sources. I know that some have looked in to the newsapi.org sources to specify their country or language to get localized news -- they just added the parameters manually to the news class file.

rapmann02 commented 5 years ago

Ok, so my last chance is to ask the support of the newsapi if they can add the „publishers“ for my country?

@rapmann02 -- look through the newsapi.org site and find if their is a source that fits what you want. You can try and add it to the list of sources in the marquee.ino file line 126 -- that will show the source you want at least in the list. You are still going to have the issue with the special characters not showing correctly on the LED display though.

If this does not answer your question, then I do not understand what you are asking. Maybe provide some more details.

If you see the option in the web interface to update the firmware you should be able to just download the latest release and update it with the compiled bin file. Or you can compile and upload the source code from the Arduino IDE.
