Inkyshot. Display weather forecast before quote.

Have set device variable of current_display = weather, as described in the instructions, but on boot it shows the quote first.

How do I get the weather first, quote after?

Thank you.

Hey @Richard238, ah you are right. Seems like a bug in the code (or instructions depending on how you see it :slightly_smiling_face:) . Setting as current_display = quote should make it work as you expect. Can you please test it?

If that works, we appreciate a pull request addressing that :smile:

Instructions = GitHub - balenalabs/inkyshot: Get a daily random inspirational quote delivered direct to your desk
Code = Work done in Visual Studio Code, or whatever code editor floats your boat.

OK, so…

current_display = quote
OR
current_display = weather

No difference, device boots to QotD first.

Thank you.

Hello @Richard238 did you made a Pull Request on the inkyshot repository?

Just done. No idea if it’s in the correct place or format - I’m no git hub expert.

Thank you

Hi @Richard238 were you able to get the inkyshot display to show the weather?

Yes, it always did. The issue was it showing QotD before the weather. Has that been fixed?
Must admit I’ve not booted mine up for quite some time, as I needed the Pi for other projects.

Hey @richard238, the commit you targeted with that PR was already merged to master in v1.3.3.

So this PR you opened doesn’t add anything new and can likely be closed.

If you have tested a change that fixes the QotD issue it might be worth opening a new PR with just that change. Or use this thread to outline the code changes required and maybe someone in the community would be willing to open a PR.
