Reading Coronavirus COVID-19 Live Data using Wio Terminal

This wiki is a modification of Reading Github Repository Stats from Wio Terminal, where it is modified to access to Coronavirus COVID19 API and parse the data and display Live COVID-19 data on the LCD screen.

Part List

Features

  • Connects to a https server

  • Obtain COVID-19 live data API

  • Pressing button to refresh data

Arduino libraries needed

  • Install the LCD screen Library Seeed_Arduino_LCD, please visit Wio Terminal LCD for more information.

  • Visit the ArduinoJson repositories and download the entire repo to your local drive.

    • Now, the ArduinoJson library can be installed to the Arduino IDE. Open the Arduino IDE, and click sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library, and choose the ArduinoJson file that you've have just downloaded.
  • For more information about Https connection, please visit here.

Arduino Instructions

  • Download the Free_Fonts.h header file so that can use abbreviations for the free fonts included in the LCD library. Please make sure to put this header file in the same location as the Arduino Sketch.

  • Download the Complete code here or copy the following.

  • Upload the code.
