Update this codebase to incorporate version 2.0 improvements from AbnormalDistributions including:
Upgraded to OpenWeatherMap One Call API 3.0: This update now uses the latest version of the OpenWeatherMap API (3.0), which may require users to update their subscriptions if they were previously using version 2.5. See the OpenWeatherMap One Call Migration Guide for details on the API changes and subscription requirements.>Automatic Log Management: Logs now rotate when they get too large, making maintenance easier.User-Friendly Settings: All essential settings are grouped together for quick customization.More Reliable Error Handling: Logs network and API errors for easier troubleshooting.Improved Directory Handling: The script finds the right directories automatically, without manual path adjustments.- Trash Day Reminders: Customize specific days to get reminders on the display.

- The first thing you need is a free API key from https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up.
- Open 'weather.py' and replace **Key Here** with your API key.
- **Location** can be left as it is unless you want to add it to your display.
- Get your **longitude** and **lattitude** using I used https://www.latlong.net and put that in as well.
- Set CSV_OPTION to False if you would not like weather data appended to 'records.csv' after every refresh.
- There is also a reminder for taking out the trash near the end of the script that you will want to change if your trash pickup doesn't come on Monday and Thursday like mine. :)
That's about it. Run the python file and you should see output on the display.
If you are not using a 7.5 inch Version 2 display, you will want to replace 'epd7in5_V2.py' in the 'lib' folder with whichever one you have from https://github.com/waveshare/e-Paper/tree/master/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python/lib/waveshare_epd
Fairly extensive adjustments will have to be made for other sized screens.
