Larry asked 4 years ago

Working on the tutorial for Weather Station, resolved the issues I had earlier with this but now after using the Weather  Station Demo sketch I get no display . I am using the WeMos D1 mini , 3.3 to vcc, G to gnd, SCL to D4 , SCA to D3.

I noticed that in your tutorial it calls out WeMos D1,R2 & Mini, could that be the issue, I am using the wrong board?

Hi Larry.
I’m not sure what might be the problem. Can you try these suggestions?

  • Select another Wemos D1 mini board;
  • If selecting another Wemos D1 mini board doesn’t work, try a Generic ESP8266 Module;
  • Try powering the OLED display with 5V. 

Let me know the results.
Regards,
Sara

So it’s up and running , thank you. I didn’t have to change the 3.3 to 5v , when I tried to use generic ESP8266 and for some reason I got D3 not used . What actually did work was to use the LoLin (WeMos)D1 & R2 mini , so once again thank you.

On my display it shows Mon 8.03.2021, is there someplace where I would change it in the sketch , I am not sure exactly how I would do this task.

Great!
What do you want to modify?
To modify the date and time on the display, you have to take a look at the drawDateTime() function on the code.

Hi.
This thread is quite old. Can you tell me exactly what is the project you’re following? Can you send me a link to that project?

Hi.
 
Thank you for your patience.
 
the code doesn’t have a setting to automatically set the time to 12-hour format: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station/issues/150
 
But, you can change the drawDateTime() function to check if hour >12 (subtract 12 to the hour).
 
Or you can take a look at the suggestions on this discussion: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station/issues/37
 
I hope this helps.
 
Regards,
Sara
