Overview software preparation
You need an api-key from openWeatherMap. A free api-key is enough. So you have to create an account and get the api-key from https://openweathermap.org/price
Then install ardino ide. For me I got it only working with my laptop running ubuntu. Using windows I got some errors because of missing libraries.
Complete the settings file with api-key, wlan-settings and loction-ID.
Set some preferences for the D1-Mini and upload the compiled result.

Some hints, which could help during soldering

Die Verbindung des Display mit dem D1-Mini habe ich ohne zusätzliche Leiterplatte, sondern mit Silikon-Litze hergestellt. Zuvor habe ich die Pins einzelnd aus dem Display ausgelötet. Dazu das Display vorsichtig in einen kleinen Maschinenschraubstock spannen und die Pins mit dem Lötkolben einzelnd aufheizen und mit einer Zange nach unten herausziehen. Anschließend die Löcher aufheizen und mit einer Entlötpumpe freisaugen.

I connected the display to the D1-Mini without an additional printed circuit board, but with silicone wire. Before that I unsoldered the pins individually from the display. To do this, carefully clamp the display in a small machine vice and heat up the pins individually with the soldering iron and pull them out downwards with pliers. Then heat up the holes and suck them free with a desoldering pump.
