  • BigWeatherBug

From the big_bug.py file in this project:

  • This project implements a "Big"WeatherBug", a small, enclosed display
  • that can be mounted on the wall to show the current temperature,
  • weather conditions, and forecast. It is written in Python using
  • the Python game framework.
  • This uses the Raspberry Pi 3 single board computer, using the
  • 'PiTFT Plus 480x320 3.5" TFT+Touchscreen for Raspberry Pi' from
  • Adafruit for a display. See https://www.adafruit.com/product/2441
  • The case is also from Adafruit and is specifically designed to fit this
  • particular screen. See https://www.adafruit.com/product/2779
  • This code uses weather data from OpenWeatherMap: http://openweathermap.org
  • Adafruit is an excellent source for hobby electronics, check them out today!
  • Written by Rob Hafernik, rob@hafernik.com
  • My first go at this was the "Little Weather Bug", which is documented
  • on GitHub at: https://github.com/robhafernik/LittleWeatherBug
  • This new version uses the display referenced above, along with the
  • pygame library for python to draw the display. Some complicaton is
  • added by having two color levels for everything: one for daytime and
  • one for nighttime (the day mode is just too bright at night).
  • Released into the public domain, do with it as you will. It is not,
  • however, warranted to be correct in any way.
