dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Hello everybody!

Unfortunately, I'm almost desperate again. Get this message with the command (sudo python weather.py): Traceback (most recent call last): File "weather.py", line 825, in if my_disp.get_forecast() is False: File "weather.py", line 274, in get_forecast config.UNITS) TypeError: forecast() takes at most 3 arguments (4 given)

Or with the command (python3. weather.py):

pygame 1.9.6 Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html Traceback (most recent call last): File "weather.py", line 815, in my_disp = my_display() File "weather.py", line 236, in init pygame.display.init() pygame.error: Unable to open a console terminal

The 2 files are in the attachment as a zipped file! Can someone help me please? Thank you very much!!!

Happy to help! First off, you don’t need sudo for this... it should run as the current user. To use sudo would actually require more environment settings. Second, can you tell me what operating system you are running? If on a Debian based system, did you use the directions in the readme including installing the extra libraries?

Hello! I´m running: Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.1 (stretch) Release: 9.1 Codename: stretch

Furthermore I installed all dependencies and got and used an API key from https://darksky.net/dev. Unfortunately, the script still doesn't work properly.

genebean commented 4 years ago

Are you running it locally from your raspberry pi or from an ssh connection?

genebean commented 4 years ago

Also, what does env | sort return?

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

I´m running it from an ssh connection. I usually put it in the startup, so that when the Raspberry Pi's was powered up it should start.

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Also, what does env | sort return?

<-- What do you mean by that?

genebean commented 4 years ago

Please run that command. As for running this over ssh, you have to export your display for that to work. Am I correct in assuming you are running the full version of Raspnian, aka not “Raspian Lite?”

That’s what I was expecting. Your DISPLAY environment variable is not set. Me doing #10 will document that process. I’ll see about doing that when I get home tonight.

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

I don't know which Rasbian version is installed (Lite or Full) ...?

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Thank you for your help!

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Good evening! Do you still have time to show me how to set the DISPLAY environment variable? best regards

genebean commented 4 years ago

I just got home a little while ago. It’ll be later tonight but it is on my to do list still.

genebean commented 4 years ago

@dodas425 check out the updated readme. It should get you taken care of as I have made this able to run as a service. Please let me know if that works or if you need more help.

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Thank you so much for the great help. I will be happy to test it out after work tonight and will get in touch! I wish you a nice day!

genebean commented 4 years ago

Just wanted to see how things went

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Hi there! Sorry that I'm only reporting now. I have some stress at work and at home at the moment ... I worked through your instructions yesterday. Unfortunately the startup is not yet possible. I also had to take smaller icons that I didn't like so much, but I didn't know how to use the icons in order to zoom out so that they are displayed correctly and quickly in my resolution 320x240. Unfortunately, I also don't know how to make the icons in the position appear slightly above the temperature display. The time is also not displayed correctly. See image. I also can only run the program with the sudo python3 weather.py command, otherwise it doesn't work ...

320x240

genebean commented 4 years ago

Do you have FULLSCREEN set to true? Also, what kind of startup problems are you having?

Sent with GitHawk

genebean commented 4 years ago

Also, what’s wrong with the time? Regarding using sudo, if you back up your config, delete your copy of the code, reclone it without sudo like the docs say, put your config back, and run the new install.sh it should start automatically.

Sent with GitHawk

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

No! I have set the fullscreen to false. I'm going to change it tonight and set it to true.

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Doesn't it matter how big the icons are and are automatically adjusted to the resolution 320/240 if FULLSCREEN = True?

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

OK, I'll go through these steps again tonight. Maybe I made a mistake and will report to you directly! Thank you!

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Are the attached icons also intended for 320/240 resolution?

genebean commented 4 years ago

So, there are two sets of icons in the code. The non-full screen set of code sets things up assuming you have 480x320 display. When fullscreen is used it detects your display size and scales accordingly. Anything with a width less than 1024 gets the small icons as the big ones just take up too much room. The logic for this is here: https://github.com/genebean/PiWeatherRock/blob/d5e0ac110b00ca353cff8c7aa4f6054408e23aa8/weather.py#L252-L262

If your display would look better with the 128x128 icons you are welcome to open a separte issue for that but I am not sure how fast I can get to setting them up. As the code above shows, I currently just have 64x64 and 256x256 icons.

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

I now understand your explanation about config.FULLSCREEN. At home I test whether the smaller icons look good and give feedback! If the icons should be 128x128, I'll get back to a new issue

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Hi there! I have followed your installation instructions. Unfortunately it didn't work, so I entered weather.py in a launcher.sh, which in turn is loaded via .bashrc when the Raspberry pi is restarted.

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Unfortunately the wind speed is not shown completely. Do you know how I can adjust the font for humidity and feels like? I was able to adjust the icons to 64x64 pixels, but it would be nice if they could be positioned a little higher ... Do you have an idea? I have added 2 photos. Thanks in advance!

Here is my modified script attached... weather.zip

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

The text on the info screen also doesn't fit perfectly :-( IMG_6371

genebean commented 4 years ago

I will look into this some this weekend but I think the root cause is that this isn’t setup for that low of a resolution display. I’ll see if I can get it looking better though.

Oh, that's very nice of you! I'm glad

FYI: I started a Gitter for this project to facilitate real time chats too. I’ll be in there a little later. https://gitter.im/PiWeatherRock/community

genebean commented 4 years ago

FYI, I added some new info to he readme tonight and fixed a few bugs. I haven’t forgotten about your issue and hope to work on it this week.

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Hi there! Gitter is a nice idea! Very interesting. The weather project deserved something :)

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the info, my dear. I am happy for every optimization. Thank you so much for your help!

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

I don't want to ask too much, but it would be nice to be able to create the days in another language!

genebean commented 4 years ago

Thanks! Regarding the language stuff, feel free to open a feature request

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

OK thanks! I made that already :-)

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

Hi, Gene! Did you get around to looking for my Python display problem (resolution 320x240) yet? Changing that value in line 253 of weather.py to 58 has compressed the display even more.

My Python script at this point is a bit different, if it should not look compressed:

os.environ["SDL_FBDEV"] = "/dev/fb1" os.environ["SDL_MOUSEDEV"] = "/dev/input/event0" os.environ["SDL_MOUSEDRV"] = "TSLIB"

    pygame.init()
    pygame.display.init()
    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((320, 240), 0, 32)

    size = (pygame.display.Info().current_w, pygame.display.Info().current_h)
    # print "Framebuffer Size: %d x %d" % (size[0], size[1])

    self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size, pygame.FULLSCREEN)
    # Clear the screen to start
    self.screen.fill((0, 0, 0))        
    # Initialise font support
    pygame.font.init()
    # Render the screen
    pygame.mouse.set_visible(0)
    pygame.display.update()
    #for fontname in pygame.font.get_fonts():
    #        print fontname
    self.xmax = 320
    self.ymax = 240
    self.icon_size = '64'
    self.subwindow_text_height = 0.070
    self.time_date_text_height = 0.149
    self.time_date_small_text_height = 0.075
    self.time_date_y_position = 0
    self.time_date_small_y_position = 30

    self.last_update_check = 0

I ordered a 320x240 screen tonight so that I can dig into this.

Hi, are you a little bit programming on the new 320/240 display? Best wishes

genebean commented 4 years ago

I tried but a it turned out my spare Pi was dead. I just got another zero w that I’m going to use but it’s going to be a few days til I’m able to start

OK, I'm glad to see you're moving on. Good luck.

genebean commented 4 years ago

@dodas425 I got my display the other day but had to work with the manufacturer to get to actually use the 320x240 resolution. This morning I finally have it working at that resolution so I can now start trying to debug your issue.

dodas425 commented 4 years ago

That's very nice! Good luck. Good luck.
