Download data by WiFi and draw it

#1

Hi there,

I’m totaly new on the forum and I need help on my new project with XY plotter.
I would like to download weather data from the web (maybe with a Wi-Fi module) and send it directly in the plotter to draw it.

For example, if it’s 30°C, sunny, no wind, when I press a button (or something else to update), the plotter go on internet, download data, and draw 30°C, a picture of a sun, and write “no wind”.
Is it possible ? If yes, how ? :slight_smile:

Thanks for your help,
Vykel

Hi,

Finally I have done it with Python ! It works very well :slight_smile:
I can share the code if someone is interested.

Thanks a lot. Finaly i found time to get it working today. :slight_smile:

Haye you tried the XY-Plotter version with Laser? Do you Know the G-Code to set the Power of the Laser?

And how did you make the different G-Code files? With inkscape?

Thanks so much!

I’m glad to read it :stuck_out_tongue:

No unfortunately I don’t have the laser, but I want to try it. I can’t help you about it :confused:

Yes I used Inkscape, I wrote a tutorial, where you can find how to proceed -> Link

Ah thank you so much.
Maybe it helps me with what i’m trying to do.

I’d like to be able to resize the picture the plotter is drawing with python-code. Any idea?

I know that you can change the size of the picture, I did it but I don’t remember how. Maybe have a look in option in Inkscape, you should be able to change the size, of the picture before save.
