jjsanderson / databot Goto Github PK

If WiFi plain packs in, the script continues without displaying a visible error on the dot display, beyond a POLLEN ERROR (which is common enough to have other causes assumed). Since the time continues to update, I've just spent 36 hours thinking it didn't seem as warm as the databot suggested.

Should probably check the thing's online, and display an 'OFFLINE' message if not. Some useful approaches to that here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3764291/how-can-i-see-if-theres-an-available-and-active-network-connection-in-python

I should rewrite this completely:

• Class which holds key: value dictionary of messages to display, with access methods to set/get messages associated with a key and to add new keys. Also things like display cycle time, and an update method.
• Helper tools then grab the relevant data and update the object as necessary
• main then registers the timer updates, and calls update() on the main object.

Would make it much simpler to reuse parts of the package.
