# EPClock
ESP8226 Arduino based ePaper clock
ESP8226 Arduino based ePaper clock, using NTP and showing the weather.
Using a Waveshare 4.3" UART module and an ESP8226 R1 Mini from Jaycar Australia, which is a D1 Mini in the Arduino program.
The ESP8266 doesn't really have enough RAM to be able to parse the XML available from the Autralian Bureau of Meteorology, so the bom_xml.py script does that and spits out some simplified json I've put that json on my home web server, and set the script to run hourly.
