A few more items need to go in the settings.toml file described on the prior page.
In addition to WiFi network credentials and timezone, our veggie code also needs:
-
ADAFRUIT_AIO_USERNAMEandADAFRUIT_AIO_KEYmatching your Adafruit IO credentials. If logged into your account at adafruit.com, click the “IO” link in the top navigation bar, then “My Key.” -
locationis the 2-letter postal code for your state, in quotes: e.g. 'NY' or 'TX'.
This currently only works for the lower 48 United States. Information for Alaska, Hawaii, and non-US countries is not present in the dataset.
CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID="your-wifi-ssid" CIRCUITPY_WIFI_PASSWORD="your-wifi-password" ADAFRUIT_AIO_USERNAME="my_username" ADAFRUIT_AIO_KEY="my_key" timezone="America/New_York" # http://worldtimeapi.org/timezones location="NY"
After editing and saving settings.toml, tap the reset button and within a minute or so you’ll see some veggies!
If the project does NOT start up: most likely the WiFi credentials are incorrect, or something is wrong with the settings.toml file syntax…make sure every quote, comma and colon is there and in the right place.
