A few more items need to go in the secrets.py file described on the prior page.
In addition to WiFi network credentials and timezone, our veggie code also needs:
-
aio_username
andaio_key
matching your Adafruit IO credentials. If logged into your account at adafruit.com, click the “IO” link in the top navigation bar, then “My Key.” -
location
is the 2-letter postal code for your state, in quotes: e.g. 'NY' or 'TX'.
secrets = { 'ssid' : 'WiFi-Network-Name', 'password' : 'WiFi-Network-Password', 'aio_username' : 'Your_Adafruit_IO_Username', 'aio_key' : 'Your_Adafruit_IO_Key', 'timezone' : "America/New_York", 'location' : 'NY' }
After editing and saving secrets.py, 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 secrets.py file syntax…make sure every quote, comma and colon is there and in the right place.
