V1 Displays discontinued -> V2 Support?

[Bjoern2708]

Hello,

first of all, a very interesting project. I searched for the components but can't find the black/white/yellow version of the display nor the V1 version of the black/white/red displays because they are all discontinued. So my question would be if I could use the V2 version of the black/white/red version of the display. The V2 has a slightly higher resolution -> 800 x 480. The V1 has a resolution of 640 x 384. The hardware connections are the same as the V1.

Edit:
I just noticed that the project uses “DarkSky”. Is there an option for other APIs like openweathermap? Because support for the “DarkSky” APIs expired on March 31, 2023...

Hey Börn,

I have started updating everything to use OpenWeatherMap instead of DarkSky, but some unresolved issues remain. The update will come soon.

As to the V2 of the display, I'm aware that the V1 display is no longer available. Currently, the coordinates for everything are not relative, so I cannot just change the resolution and everything looks correct. I have however a V2 display, and I am planning on supporting that display as well.
