Intro

Modified version of Matthew Petroff's script to display current weather information on an e-ink screen.

Here is an example of it running a Nook Somple Touch

nook

(note that running it on a Nook requires the companion WeatherShow android app -- or well, anything that can display png's really)

Changes (from MPetroff's version)

  • Uses forecast.io for the weather information (original script used NOAA data and was US only)
  • Switched to using icons from The Noun Project
  • Minor mods to the actual information displayed (timestamp, human redable weather info)

Pre-Requisites

  • forecast.io API key
  • python-forecastio
  • rsvg-convert to convert the svg to a png (sudo apt-get install librsvg2-bin)
  • pngcrush to optimize/reduce the final image filesize (sudo apt-get install pngcrush)

Inctructions for use

TBD
