Weather station color: Change date format in first row

Question

Hi all,

my weather station runs really well, but one last issue still remains:

The date in the first row of the display is still in US format. Is there any possibility to change it to the German format (weekday, date, month, year)?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Joerg

You can change this line: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station-color/blob/master/esp8266-weather-station-color.ino#L353

The constants are defined in `settings.h` at https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station-color/blob/master/settings.h#L55

Hi Marcel,

thank you very much for your reply. It seems that I am running an older software version as the line that writes the date was completely different. But no big deal I just had to replace
 

String date = ctime(&now);
date = date.substring(0,11) + String(1900 + timeinfo->tm_year);

with

String date = WDAY_NAMES[timeinfo->tm_wday] + " " + String(timeinfo->tm_mday) + ". " + MONTH_NAMES[timeinfo->tm_mon] + " "  + String(1900 + timeinfo->tm_year);

and it worked like a charme :)


 

Cheers,
Joerg
