I just built the color weather station and am having the same connecting problem: continuing refreshing screen showing connecting … but never connects. Changed the setting.h file to “us.pool.ntp.org” and rolled back the ESP8266 board manager to version 2.5.0. No change. Still in endless connecting loop. Any help?

I had this problem. A friend suggested that I ‘roll back’ the ESP8266 board manager to version 2.5.0
Upon doing this, and reloading the sketch, all works fine now.
Thanks to my friend Shaun for helping me sort this out.

I have the same problem with a refreshing screen when trying to connect to the wifi. Any solution to this?
Thanks

My TFT just refreshes. I really don’t know what to do. I bought this kit and assembled it a few years ago and it worked great until WU decided to yank the API for personal use.
At any rate, I just can’t get the screen from saying, Connected, Connecting, Connected, Connecting, etc. and refresh of the screen.
If anyone out there in Arduino Land can help I would appreciate it very much. I even built an outdoor weather station that is recharged by a Solar Panel. So I am new but not brand new. Just still learning..
Thank you,
Steve

Removed the “D” from the code and a fee other tweaks and the code now compiles. It does not upload giving the error

warning: espcomm_sync failed
error: espcomm_open failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed

Tried to update the Colour Weather and received the complying errors:

In file included from /home/mx1/Downloads/esp8266-weather-station-color/esp8266-weather-station-color.ino:25:0:
settings.h:86: error: ‘D1’ was not declared in this scope
#define TFT_CS = D1
^
/home/mx1/Downloads/esp8266-weather-station-color/esp8266-weather-station-color.ino:83:31: note: in expansion of macro ‘TFT_CS’
ILI9341_SPI tft = ILI9341_SPI(TFT_CS, TFT_DC);
^
settings.h:85: error: ‘D2’ was not declared in this scope
#define TFT_DC = D2

There are more, but this is a snippet. All seem to have to do with the screen.

Now, I built this from the Adafruit websiite with a Huzzah.

It looks great, but it’s just a home weather station. If you really want to be brave in outdoor weather monitoring, you need to consider a lot of factors, such as waterproof, low power consumption, wireless communication, high precision, background monitoring, etc. I believe this website can let you know more about the weather station.

I installed everything and it working good BUT I do not know if it is a bug or something that is an error on my part but I get multiple names of days displaying :/ like MON MON TUE or MON TUE TUE. There is ALWAYS a duplicate name of day in the 3 that are displayed. How to fix please?

TIA!
