Reading Github Repository Stats from Wio Terminal

This wiki introduces how to use Wio Terminal to access to HTTPS server, which means you could use Wio Terminal to grab live data from the internet! Here, Wio Terminal is connected to a Wi-Fi and obtain data from the Github.

With this, you can implement the Demo to others api such as grabbing Weather information, Youtube Stats and etc.

Part List

Features

  • Connects to a https server

  • Grab repo stats from Github

  • Can change to any Github Repositories

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.

Complete Code

Note: Change the ssid and password to your Network Wi-Fi.
