Trash Day Issue about e_paper_weather_display

[AbnormalDistributions]

Hey!

The part of this code uses the python datetime.today().weekday() function. It returns a number corresponding to the day of the week it is currently. Here's the documentation.

To do what you want, I would create a list of dates that the trash is going to be taken out, as it changes monthly. Then I would write a short script to check and see if it's those dates.

Something like this:

trash_list = [10.23, 10.30, 11.13] # list of dates in month.date format
today =  float(datetime.today().strftime('%m.%d'))
for date in trash_list:
    if today == date:
        draw.rectangle((345, 13, 705, 55), fill =black)
        draw.text((355, 15), 'TAKE OUT TRASH TODAY!', font=font30, fill=white)

I haven't tested that code, but something like that should do what you are looking for.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a go.
