*** I would suggest opening from a Desktop computer if you have troubles with the embedded URL's Building a Raspberry Pi Display & Installing WeatherFlow PiConsole I’m very happy with how easy it was to create a dedicated Raspberry Pi console to monitor the WeatherFlow Tempest using the third party WeatherFlow PiConsole by Peter SWS Field Tester. The WeatherFlow PiConsole is a Python console that will display the data collected by a WeatherFlow Tempest or Smart Home Weather Station. The console uses the WeatherFlow REST API and websocket to stream data from your station in real time via the internet. As soon as the data from your station reaches the WeatherFlow servers, it is pushed immediately to the console, including the 3-second rapid wind updates. It cost me approximately $165 in parts. Steps for building the Display Finding out what parts to buy, how to install it correctly in the case, getting the screen to always stay on, etc took me a day of googling. You can buy a cheaper Raspberry Pi, but I opted for the 4b with 4GB. I already had a wireless keyboard/mouse which is not required after the OS and software is installed and configured. You can use any USB mouse/keyboard to perform the setup, but wireless is my preference so I can store them out of site and leave the USB dongle installed for when I need to run updates. Here are the parts I purchased in USA dollars Raspberry Pi 7" Touch Screen Display $60 SmartiPi Touch 2 - Case for The Official Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display w/fan $28 Note - do not bolt Pi to the case, the fan door closes snuggly around the Pi and posts it sits on. If you attach nuts to the posts the fan door will not close. CanaKit 3.5A Raspberry Pi 4 Power Supply with PiSwitch (USB-C) $11 Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2019 Quad Core 64 Bit WiFi Bluetooth (4GB) $55 Micro SD card 32gb $11 Here are the steps to build the Display and install/configure the software Download the Raspberry Pi imager here and use it to install the 32-bit image to the SD card from a Windows 10 PC. This video shows the process of using the Imager Use this video to see how to connect the hardware components together. SmartiPi Touch 2 case instructions may be useful to you if video left you with questions. Once the Raspberry Pi is powered up, complete the setup tasks using these instructions Next you need to open a terminal window and install WeatherFlow PiConsole found here. Optional step is to install a screen saver and modify the setting to disable the screen saver so the display always stays on using this video 73 de AI4Y *** I would suggest opening from a Desktop computer if you have troubles with the embedded URL's 73 de AI4Y
