💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with adafruit-circuitpython-display-text
Create a simple weather station display app using CircuitPython and the 'adafruit-circuitpython-display-text' package. This app will fetch real-time weather data from an API and display it on a small OLED screen connected to a microcontroller board like the Adafruit Feather M4 Express. The app should cycle through different types of weather information such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and UV index. Additionally, the display should update every 15 minutes automatically. Use CircuitPython's displayio module to manage the display, and ensure that the text is formatted nicely and updates smoothly without flickering.

Steps to create the app:
1. Set up your development environment with CircuitPython and the necessary libraries including 'adafruit-circuitpython-display-text'.
2. Connect an OLED display to your microcontroller board according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Write a function to fetch weather data from an API of your choice (such as OpenWeatherMap). Make sure you have an API key.
4. Implement the 'adafruit-circuitpython-display-text' package to display fetched weather data on the OLED screen. Consider different text styles and sizes for various types of data.
5. Create a main loop that updates the display with new weather data every 15 minutes.
6. Add visual indicators for different conditions, like icons for sunny, cloudy, or rainy days.
7. Test the app thoroughly to ensure smooth operation and correct display of all data.
8. Optional: Include error handling for network issues and display messages if no data is available.

Features to include:
- Display current temperature with a Celsius/ Fahrenheit option toggle.
- Show humidity percentage.
- Indicate wind speed and direction.
- Display UV index level.
- Use icons to represent weather conditions visually.
- Update display every 15 minutes without manual intervention.
- Allow user to switch between different weather data types using buttons connected to the microcontroller.

This project will not only demonstrate the capabilities of the 'adafruit-circuitpython-display-text' package but also provide practical experience in working with APIs and integrating hardware components in a CircuitPython project.
