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.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark
Good Morning All,
I came into my office on Tuesday and my METAR Map was frozen on rainbow LED's. This happens every once in a while... I just turn off and back on...and back to normal. For the past two days this has not been the case. It boots up, and the LED's do their thing for about 5 seconds, then they freeze and do not update. The OLED does keep going. I try to connect using the IP address and it says it cannot reach... I have also tried to use the BerryLan but it also will not connect. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Yes, there is a server that stores update files that is acting up causing an error. Here's the fix;
