Weather Appliance

A set of python scripts I plan to use to drive a little weather display appliance I am building.

Cut me some slack, I am a C# developer trying to write python 😃

TODOs

• need to create something that handles program flow control, like should the program run, did the production of a new image fail, should it try again or display a fail message, I will probably just run this as a cron job so the program will need to know whether to run again or not when triggered
• need something to control the display, just something that will take images and put them on the screen
• need decide how I will handle creating the images to draw on the screen, since it is two tones, I will need something to create the black image and something to create the red image
• logging
• figure out how to structure this project in a more pythonic way
• tests
• data retention, do I want to store any data in a database?
