Weather Forecasting with a Pi: A Stylish Home DIY

Ever thought of having a sleek weather forecast display at home? You can make one with a Raspberry Pi and an e-paper screen! This project, shared by AbnormalDistributions on GitHub, shows weather updates and reminders on a 7. 5-inch e-paper display. It’s powered by a Raspberry Pi 3 or newer, fetching data from OpenWeatherMap and refreshing it periodically. What’s great is that it uses minimal energy, making it perfect for continuous display without constant updates. The setup is easy to replicate with a simple list of materials and clear instructions on GitHub. Plus, you can customize it for other purposes too, like showing trash reminders. To get started, grab a Waveshare 7. 5-inch e-Paper HAT, a Raspberry Pi 3 or above, an 8GB SD card, a power supply, and a 5x7 photo frame. Follow the guide, and you’ll have a stylish, functional weather display in no time. This can be a fun and practical addition to your tech collection.
