# This
Core api and [Esp32 (Microcontroller)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP32) code for displaying weather data and public transport information on a e-ink display.
# What why how
This is a project I created that pulls weather data from the internet, transforms it into custom images, and displays them on an e-ink screen powered by an ESP32.
## What This Project Does
I wanted a low-power way to see weather information at a glance, so I built this system that:
- Fetches real-time weather data from online APIs
- Processes and converts the data into visual images (temperature graphs, forecast icons, etc.)
- Sends these images wirelessly to an ESP32 microcontroller
- Displays the information on an energy-efficient e-ink screen
- Updates periodically while consuming minimal power

Best way of getting the ESP32 ready for code upload is to follow this guide [https://web.archive.org/web/20250706150325/https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/E-Paper_ESP32_Driver_Board] (WAVESHARE ESP32 GUIDE).

Once you have it ready so you can upload code to it copy my code in: Esp32_Code/INFOSCREEN_WITH_INTERVAL from this repo.
