This may be stupid but I have to ask anyway!

Is there anyway to get or download the current weather temperature from the web to use either in an Arduino sketch or ESP-32 application. Thanks for the help.

I've given up with WordPress!

I have been trying to learn WordPress but frustrated to the end. I have my site written in html and wanted to convert it to WordPress. I have followed several of the YouTube videos on setting up the site but their visuals do not follow what I have on my host site. Thanks for reading and let me know what you would recommend. I am 75 years old and proficient in several computer languages. Thanks@

7200 MHZ

I've been reading comments about the disaster that is occurring on 7200 max. This evening I tuned to 7200 around 0000z tonight. I believe that I would rather listen to channel 19 on the CB band. Disgraceful!

My SDR Arduino radio

I posted a question about downloading from the sdr arduino shortwave radio into a sketch program. The radio has a programming port on the rear panel. Some people questioned on how I knew that it was an Arduino. So here is the proof!

Need bluetooth connectivity

I would like to stream stereo music from my Arduino UNO r4 to my Bluetooth amplifier and speakers. Does anyone have a recommendation for an AdaFruit product that would accomplish this task. I'm a bit confused so any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Si4703 FM RADIO HELP

I have been trying dozens of Arduino sketches that will allow me to use the Si4703 FM Radio module. I am using a Arduino r4 WiFi with the Arduino IDE. I have not found a single, out of dozens, of code from various sources on the internet, that will compile without errors to support this chip. Don't think that I should "write" my own but I simply do not know that much about software. I am a retired hardware dude! All of the necessary libraries have been installed but to no good. Can someone please let me in on where to find such a sketch. I just wanted to set up a FM receiver here in my room. I have had luck with the TEA5767 Chip but I wanted one to receive the RDS signal. Many thanks!

TEA5767 RADIO HELP!

First off I am 75 and trying to build a Arduino radio using the TEA5767 module. I am using a Arduino Uno r4. I want to turn several i/o pins on and off but when this line is in the sketch all of the i/o pins do not work. The line in question is: TEA5767 radio = TEA5767N();

I load the library as usual but if I comment out the line shown above all inputs and outputs work normally. With the line included the i/o pins do not respond to the digitalWrite command. Hope someone can give me a place to look for the problem. Many thanks!

Long compiling and load times?

I think I have learned enough from Arduino to be dangerous. So now I have "moved on" to the ESP32. One thing I have noticed right off of the bat is that it takes a very long time to compile and load the sketch into the ESP32. I am using the Arduino IDE version 2.3.8. When compiling and sending the Ardrino sketch it was much faster. Is this normal for the ESP32 to take 3 to 5 minutes to load. Thanks for your help!

Came across this PC Scope!

Cam across this scope in a thrift store. Priced right at $2.00. Seemed fair. Took it home and went onto the Hankek website where I not only found the drivers for Windows 10 but also the application software that runs the scope. Fired it up and it works! Limited bandwidth but for the few times that I need a scope should work out just fine!!!

Help finding <avr/io.h>

Apparently in order to run my sketch using TimerOne.h, I need the following library: avr/io.h, I have looked on the net but can't find the AVR portion of the library. I found IO.h. I am trying to program a Arduino Uno r4. Can someone please help me to find this library. Many thanks!

I'm pulling my hair out and I don't have that much left! The problem is with the library: TimerOne.h On a y sketch I run goves the error: Compilation error: 'class TimerOne' has no member named 'initialize'. I have looked at the keywords and initialize is in the keywords. Even the examples from the Library gives the same error. I hope this makes sense and thanks for any help. Many Thanks!!!

I have been doing FT8 for a while. Not real active but I also have discovered FT4 as well. Not well used but the timing of FT4 makes it kind of fun. Quicker QSO's is one advantage. The problem is that the same operators are on the air all the time. I have been reading about FT2. If hams don't utilize FT4 as much as FT8 then will there be many that support FT2? Just a question my old mind wonders about? Also is there any testing of FT2 going on. If so I would like to try it out.
