Getting Started
Adafruit Playground is a wonderful and safe place to share your interests with Adafruit's vibrant community of makers and doers. Have a cool project you are working on? Have a bit of code that you think others will find useful? Want to show off your electronics workbench? You have come to the right place.
The goal of Adafruit Playground is to make it as simple as possible to share your work. On the Adafruit Playground users can create Notes. A note is a single-page space where you can document your topic using Adafruit's easy-to-use editor. Notes are like Guides on the Adafruit Learning System but guides are high-fidelity content curated and maintained by Adafuit. Notes are whatever you want them to be. Have fun and be kind.

Digital Clock with WiFi and Weather (Huzzah & 128x64OLED)
I had an Adafruit Huzzah and an OLED FeatherWing 128 x 64 in my box of goodies and decided to make a smart digital clock for my study.
The clock is connected to internet via WiFi, synchronises the time and via an api displays the temperature in my area. It is set to update every 5 minutes. Also displays an icon of the current weather.
These are parsed from the api response:
{"coord":{"lon":yyyyyy,"lat":xxxxx},"weather":[{"id":800,"main":"Clear","description":"clear sky","icon":"01n"}],"base":"stations","main":{"temp":1.03,"feels_like":-1.33,"temp_min":0.57,"temp_max":2.64,"pressure":1039,"humidity":76,"sea_level":1039,"grnd_level":1034},"visibility":10000,"wind":{"speed":2.06,"deg":170},"clouds":{"all":0},"dt":1738790391,"sys":{"type":1,"id":1440,"country":"GB","sunrise":1738742403,"sunset":1738773892},"timezone":0,"id":3333224,"name":"xxxxxx City","cod":200}Next I created a 3D printed bezel that allowed me to fit the stacked boards in my workbench pannel.
