Post by Amtor »

Hello All,
Just wondering if anyone has tried the BBC news component and had any luck with it.

Thanks Mark

Hi Mark,

Yes it's working well here, the IP address might have changed so it's worth checking that.

If you're still having problems then please post your project file and we will have a look for you.

Hello
Thanks for the reply.
Yes I had some luck with it , it said on the wiki page to use the weather component ip address, I thought that must be wrong,
I figured out in the end its using feeds.bbci.co.uk .
I tried using the esp8266 but I did not get an iota of data from it, but using the lolin D32 it all came flooding in.

Is the esp8266 not suitable ? it seems to work fine for receiving the weather data

Thanks very much, it all great fun.

Mark
