Hello,

I have silly clock running and I want to display weather with rss feed every minute.

I have no clue how to combine silly clock with weather.

My weather rss feed. python file

!/usr/bin/env python
from luma.core.legacy import text, show_message 
from luma.core.interface.serial import spi, noop
import time
from random import randrange
from luma.led_matrix.device import max7219 
import luma.led_matrix.device  as led
from luma.core.legacy.font import proportional, SINCLAIR_FONT, TINY_FONT, CP437_FONT
import feedparser
 
python_wiki_rss_url = "https://weather-broker-cdn.api.bbci.co.uk/en/forecast/rss/3day/456172"
 
# create matrix device
serial = spi(port=0, device=0, gpio=noop())
device = max7219(serial, cascaded=4, block_orientation=-90, blocks_arranged_in_reverse_order=True)
device.contrast(16)
print("Created device")
 
while True:
        print("Getting feed")
        feed = feedparser.parse( python_wiki_rss_url)
 
        for repeats in range(100):
                print(repeats)
                for items in feed["items"]:
 
                        msg = items["title"]
                        msg = msg[0:msg.find("/")]
                        print(msg)
                        show_message(device, msg, fill="white", font=proportional(CP437_FONT))
                        time.sleep(60)
#                        msg = items["description"]
 #                       msg = msg[0:msg.find("/")]
  #                      print(msg)
   #                     show_message(device, msg, fill="white", font=proportional(CP437_FONT))
    #                    time.sleep(90)
 
                        msg = time.asctime()
                        msg= time.strftime("%H:%M")
                        print(msg)
                        show_message(device, msg, fill="white", font=proportional(CP437_FONT))
                        time.sleep(1)
