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):

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 · 2020-01-22T12:36:14Z

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

Also, what does env | sort return?

dodas425 · 2020-01-22T12:49:00Z

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 · 2020-01-22T12:50:44Z

Also, what does env | sort return?

<-- What do you mean by that?

genebean · 2020-01-22T12:54:28Z

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.

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

Thank you for your help!

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

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

@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 · 2020-01-23T06:57:05Z

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 · 2020-01-24T03:57:38Z

Just wanted to see how things went

dodas425 · 2020-01-24T08:08:58Z

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 ...

dodas425 · 2020-01-24T08:15:20Z

Here is the picture from the display of the Raspberry Pi…..

dodas425 · 2020-01-24T11:53:55Z

320x240

genebean · 2020-01-24T12:06:10Z

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

_{Sent with GitHawk}

genebean · 2020-01-24T12:09:57Z

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 · 2020-01-24T13:38:01Z

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

dodas425 · 2020-01-24T13:41:41Z

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

dodas425 · 2020-01-24T13:55:00Z

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

dodas425 · 2020-01-24T13:56:03Z

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

genebean · 2020-01-24T14:03:36Z

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:

PiWeatherRock/weather.py

Lines 252 to 262 in d5e0ac1

    
           if config.FULLSCREEN: 
        
               self.xmax = pygame.display.Info().current_w - 35 
        
               self.ymax = pygame.display.Info().current_h - 5 
        
               if (self.xmax <= 1024): 
        
                   self.icon_size = '64' 
        
               else: 
        
                   self.icon_size = '256' 
        
           else: 
        
               self.xmax = 480 - 35 
        
               self.ymax = 320 - 5 
        
               self.icon_size = '64'

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 · 2020-01-24T14:58:59Z

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 · 2020-01-24T21:53:01Z

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 · 2020-01-24T22:00:57Z

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!

dodas425 · 2020-01-24T22:04:25Z

Here is my modified script attached...

dodas425 · 2020-01-25T08:08:31Z

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

genebean · 2020-01-25T14:59:36Z

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.

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

OK thanks! I made that already :-)

dodas425 · 2020-02-11T11:25:41Z

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

@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.
