Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

Vance, the routine that goes out for the data is;
while True: #check internet availability and retry if necessary. If house power outage, map may boot quicker than router.
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.connect(("8.8.8.8", 80))
ipadd = s.getsockname()[0] #get IP Address
logger.info('RPI IP Address = ' + ipadd) #log IP address when ever FAA weather update is retreived.
try:
content = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read()
logger.info('Internet Available')
logger.info(url)
break
except:
logger.warning('FAA Data is Not Available')
logger.warning(url)
time.sleep(delay_time)
pass
The delay_time between rechecks is set to 10 seconds. I wonder if it should be set to 30 seconds? What do you think? - Mark
