Weather data as pictures

Post by snapper »

Hi

Does anyone know of a way to get the data in Cumulus into graphic gauges that updates regularly like the web wind images?

I want to composite a jpg file together of all the relevant weather data and send the file to a dumb graphics display that I can have remotely. The display is a bit like a digital photo frame - i want to use it as an extra weather console, but it can only display pictures, so the web pages / steel series gauges are out.
I can do a text only composite display of the relevant data, but graphics look much nicer :D

Any ideas gratefully received. even better if they run on Linux!!!!!

I had a look at Weather Display as it can do this already but looking through the config options made my eyes bleed - I guess the programmer isn't one for usability...
Cumulus is way ahead and with the Linux version on the radar, just what I need once I can get these remote displays sorted.

Cheers!
