Add ability to adjust screen timing

[metaMMA]

This pull request adds three variables to the config.py.sample, and amends weather.py to accept these variables. It was written to be backward compatible with what current users are accustomed to seeing.

config.py.sample additions:

# Number of seconds to pause on the Daily and Hourly weather screens.
DH_PAUSE = 60 # 1 minute

# Number of seconds to pause on the Info screen.
INFO_SCREEN_PAUSE = 300 # 5 minutes

# Number of seconds between showing the info screen.
INFO_SCREEN_DELAY = 900 # 15 minutes

weather.py amendments (line 867+):

    # Automatically switch back to weather display after a couple minutes.
    if MODE not in ('d', 'h'):
        PERIODIC_INFO_ACTIVATION = 0
        NON_WEATHER_TIMEOUT += 1
        # Default in config.py.sample: pause for 5 minutes on info screen
        if NON_WEATHER_TIMEOUT > (config.INFO_SCREEN_PAUSE * 10):
            MODE = 'd'
            syslog.syslog("Switched to weather mode")
    else:
        NON_WEATHER_TIMEOUT = 0
        PERIODIC_INFO_ACTIVATION += 1
        # Default in config.py.sample: flip between 2 weather screens
        # for 15 minutes before showing info screen.
        if PERIODIC_INFO_ACTIVATION > (config.INFO_SCREEN_DELAY * 10):
            MODE = 'i'
            syslog.syslog("Switched to info mode")
        elif (PERIODIC_INFO_ACTIVATION % (config.DH_PAUSE * 10)) == 0 and
              MODE == 'd'):
            MODE = 'h'
        elif (PERIODIC_INFO_ACTIVATION % (config.DH_PAUSE * 10)) == 0 and
              MODE == 'h'):
            MODE = 'd'

Relevant: #28

Thank you very much for this! The code looks good. I want to test it locally today but will merge it after that so long as it behaves as expected.

No problem. After reading Issue #28 I think I'm going to amend this further, so that the end user can choose different screen times for daily and hourly, as well. I'll push the changes later today.

update to config.py.sample additions:

# Number of seconds to pause on the Daily weather screen.
DAILY_PAUSE = 60 # 1 minute

# Number of seconds to pause on the Hourly weather screen. 
HOURLY_PAUSE = 60 # 1 minute

# Number of seconds to pause on the Info screen.
INFO_SCREEN_PAUSE = 300 # 5 minutes

# Number of seconds between showing the info screen.
INFO_SCREEN_DELAY = 900 # 15 minutes

update to weather.py (line 869+)

    # Automatically switch back to weather display after a couple minutes.
    if MODE not in ('d', 'h'):
        PERIODIC_INFO_ACTIVATION = 0
        NON_WEATHER_TIMEOUT += 1
        D_COUNT = 0
        H_COUNT = 0
        # Default in config.py.sample: pause for 5 minutes on info screen.
        if NON_WEATHER_TIMEOUT > (config.INFO_SCREEN_PAUSE * 10):
            MODE = 'd'
            D_COUNT = 1
            syslog.syslog("Switching to weather mode")
    else:
        NON_WEATHER_TIMEOUT = 0
        PERIODIC_INFO_ACTIVATION += 1
        # Default in config.py.sample: flip between 2 weather screens
        # for 15 minutes before showing info screen.
        if PERIODIC_INFO_ACTIVATION > (config.INFO_SCREEN_DELAY * 10):
            MODE = 'i'
            syslog.syslog("Switching to info mode")
        elif (PERIODIC_INFO_ACTIVATION % (((config.DAILY_PAUSE * D_COUNT) +
              (config.HOURLY_PAUSE * H_COUNT)) * 10)) == 0:
            if MODE == 'd':
                syslog.syslog("Switching to HOURLY")
                MODE = 'h'
                H_COUNT += 1
            else:
                syslog.syslog("Switching to DAILY")
                MODE = 'd'
                D_COUNT += 1

additions to global variable ( lines 61-62)

D_COUNT = 1
H_COUNT = 0
