It was a personal itch that I had to scratch – I wanted an enclosure that supported different stages of prototyping, offering protection and open access when starting out, with the ability to add side walls and the top later, but also have the ability to stack multiple units either side-by-side or one on top of the other, thereby having the ability to expand with prototyping needs and the addition of other boards and components. Some of you may be aware that I’ve created a new stackable, modular enclosure system called ProtoStax. It even has a Python wrapper library available to easily invoke the APIs and get the weather data in an object oriented manner, without worrying about underlying protocols and processing JSON results.įor the ePaper display, I use an ePaper HAT for the Raspberry Pi by Waveshare, who also provide a python library for interfacing with it.
RASPBERRY PI WEATHER DISPLAY HOW TO
In this article, I explain how to build a weather station with an ePaper display (like the kind you find on a Kindle, except this one is tri-color – white, black and red) and a Raspberry Pi and put it in an enclosure so that you have a finished project that you can display on your coffee table or night stand and see the weather information for your location (or locations) of choice!įor the weather data, I use Open Weather Map, a cloud service that offers a Weather API and that has a free tier plan available.
