Arduino Yun + TFT 'rotatingweather display

Weather Display

• Runs on Arduino Yun (Eagle and Cyclops specifically)

• Displays the weather on a 2.8" Adafruit TFT with capacitive touch https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-8-tft-touch-shield-v2/capacitive-touchscreen-paint-demo

• Two Python scripts are run by crontab on the Linux side grab wunderground.com data

  • One of the scripts grabs the current conditions (temperature and humidity)
  • The other gets the forecast highs and low for the current day and the next day

• Indoor conditions come from Ambient Weather based on my own weather station

• The Arduino code reads the values from the SD card periodically and updates the display

• Touching the display causes the bottom portion to rotate between Tomorrow's forecast, indoor data, and details about today

• Linux side is using JSON from Weather Underground and Ambient Weather to fetch conditions and forecast data http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/436da0958aa624c8/edit.html

• There is no installer, just have to put everything in its place manually
