I was looking for a project to help be understand how API links feed data to the ESP32 and can I scroll it across my screen. I'd say yes, I figured that out.
I'm looking for free API connections. I've linked the National Weather Service, Stock Markets, BLS, AP News and CNN. My next attempt is my company's ERP, maybe I can pull the data for a digital dashboard
I was playing around with my 8x8 Max7219 LED matrix .... Thought I'd make a simple clock with scrolling weather. It's the simple things that entertain me.
I'm trying to learn how an API links into my ESP32 code. I'm in the development of a digital activities board. I want to pull data from ODOO to make a KPI board for my company. The first step is this scrolling clock,.
Always wanted my own ticker tape .... Working with free APIs. There so much free stuff out there, that I'm spending my Saturday morning and seeing what I can scroll across my 24x 8x8 matrix LED Max7219 modules
I know how we love boxes here, so I thought I'd share my most simple box. I got tired of all those little boxes from asia with hardware aways opening at the wrong time.

So I made this guy....

Simple things that keep me busy.
Sometimes I'll be working on a project and I need to do something ... This case it was wiring an Esp32. What a pain in the ass to hold all that wire. So I made a wire holder. For your viewing pleasure ...
For your viewing pleasure, I was cleaning up the workshop today and I came across all these bearings sitting in a box. So I made a simple case to hold my 22mm x 7mm x 8mm bearings in a nice case with snap features.
