Temperature doesn't change while program is running

[mattmole]

Hi,

While in a forever loop, I cannot get the temperature to change from the weather:bit board. If I hold my finger over the sensor, the temperature remains constant until I reset the board.

I've tried the "Start Weather Monitoring" in a Start block and Forever block. I've tried the Start weather monitoring in the same forever block and set up. I've tried delays between the setup and reading section...

This is my latest attempt...

Thanks

I won't be able to review this until Tuesday, Aug 15 but one thing I noticed (and I'm not sure if you have all the blocks showing) is that the RX and TX pins of the weather bit are connected to 14 and 15 respectively- so you need a serial redirect block as well.

I will get this sorted ASAP when I get back.

Thanks for bringing the issue to my attention.

Ok I'll have a play. Why is this needed please if I'm using the serial over the USB port?

Sorry, I thought you were using the serial port on the weather:bit.

No problem. Let me know when you've looked into the issue I'm having and I'm happy to do some beta testing if you need me to. Matt

Hi,

Any thoughts on this please? I'm keen to use the library to send data to a raspberry pi and then process it elsewhere.

Thanks

Hi,

We found the issues you were having. We have been working on the fix and the newpackage should be published tomorrow - if not tonight.

Turns out the weather monitoring mode was set up as "forced" so the values were being stored and not updated without another write the control meas register.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention - I apologize it took some time but you've helped out so Thanks! I'll let you know as soon as the updated package is published and some beta testing would be great!

New package is published and ready for use! Once I've got your confirmation I'll close this out.

Hi Mary, That's brilliant news - thanks! No problem that it took a while Can I test this new version by just using the module in the https://pxt.microbit.org editor? Once I've tested the temperature and pressure functions I'll have a play with the wind sensor functions. Matt

Hi Matt, the new site is makecode.microbit.org and the package is ready to be added and used.

[mattmole]

Thank you. This works perfectly now

Looks like this is fixed. Thanks @ADataDate !!!! I just tested it out with all three variables. By re-adding the Weatherbit package to the example and replacing the code blocks, the temperature, humidity, and pressure started updating in real time so you do not have to keep hitting the micro:bit's reset button. I'll update the code in the tutorial. =)
