Trying to use this and i'm not getting any actual announcement. When program is on, bunny's left ear moves to 5, when i pull ear back to 0, nothing happens although in the weather status box i get "time last announced" about the same time as i moved ears.
I get no actual annoncement. is this something to do with RSS feeds not working?

Hi,

If the ear is moving but no annoucement is being heard then there is either an error in transmitting the weather message from the app to Violet, or in Violet doing the text to speach conversion. As the temperature dipped recently in the UK and went sub zero the text to speach service wouldn't accept negative numbers (e.g. '-5') in the weather report that the app sends it. Not sure whether it's that cold where you are?!?

I've made an update to the app to work around this and have also updated the error reporting to give more information when this sort of thing happens. If it happens again, make sure 'debug' is turn to 'on' and let me know what the log file says (you'll find this is the root of the C drive).

New version here:

lol....
New version gives me this message -

HTTP Post to Nabaztag failed at outset, error: The remote name could not be resolved: 'api.nabaztag.com'

When i tried to test message.

the API is down right now, which is also holding me up on my program

It's up but i'm not sure it's working right, i've sent several commands to frank and the api says his ears have moved but they haven't. damn technology.

The API service is flaky to say the least at the moment, and 'up' doesn't necessarily appear to mean working! Having said that, seems to be working fine this morning as I can check the position and move the rabbit's ears.

Just tried to send a weather update and the Violet TTS service is rejecting the forecast again. I can only think that Violet has changed the rules around what are acceptable characters for a TTS message. Will look in to it.

We've added yet another weather script using the National Weather Service in the U.S. If you'd like to download it and try out the Weather Bunny, the link is below. Just change the first few lines to pick your city and state and identify your bunny, and you're all ready to go.
