Before you start your day, it’s helpful to check the current weather conditions. What better way to plan your day than by creating a program? raspberry pi for a mission? We’ve seen the Raspberry Pi’s weather display before, and wanted to share this beautiful weather. raspberry pi dashboard Created by Chris Toomey. It has a very sleek interface and shows a local map based on your current location.
Weather data is retrieved from the Accuweather/OpenWeatherMap API and formatted for display in Inkplate 10. The Inkplate 10 is a 10 inch e-Ink panel, so it doesn’t consume much power and the data stays displayed when power is applied. Separated from the pie. The generated map can be set to any location and displayed under today’s date.
Maps are generated using Google’s Static Maps API. The data is updated regularly according to a schedule using MQTT and a server running on a Raspberry Pi. Daylight saving time is also handled automatically, so you don’t have to adjust year-round. Overall, the project should work alone without interference.

Twomey tested the setup with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and a Raspberry Pi Zero W. You should be able to replicate this project on other models including the latest Raspberry Pi 4. The ESP32 has also been thrown into the mix as a client his module and the dashboard he powers using a 2000 mAh battery but Twomey said the 3000 mAh would give better long lasting results It suggests that there is a possibility that
A model with wireless support is recommended as the Raspberry Pi needs to be connected to the internet to retrieve data. When the Pi boots it connects to WiFi before updating the time and date. I also have a Flask server running to handle the weather data update process. For more information about the software used in this project, please visit the official site. Github page.
