- The following python code pulls information from the dweet and stores the result in url which is also a dictionary type variable.
- Then the individual data components can be extracted, such as Volt
url = dweepy.get_latest_dweet_for('3083-MPPT-Xbee1-test')
print(url)
dict = url[0]
longdate = dict['created']
print(longdate)
voltage = dict['content'][('Volt')]
print(f'The voltage is {voltage}')
