Well you did help me solve it, but not using divs.

Turned out i had to put the icon in an inside the and not directly in the

<td><i class="fa fa-fire"> </td>

instead of

<td class="fa fa-fire"></td>

@KirAsh4 Yeah, it is working for me as I want it. I figured it wouldn’t be overly useful to others anyhow since there was a lot of back-end work to do (namely setting up json streams that match the module code from the weather station, uploading to an appropriate location).

Screenshot of my current display is below. It updates every 5 seconds using data from my local Davis weather station running Cumulus software. The rain information (total daily rain on top left, current rain rate at bottom left) only display if there has been rain today or it is currently raining respectively. It will also display winds like “12 G23” if the winds hit gust criteria (over 18MPH gusts and more than 10MPH over the wind speed). It is pretty trivial to put any information you can get into the json file to display.

I’d be happy to try to properly modularize this if there is some interest, there’s just so many options and variations of stations/json exports/etc that I’m not sure I’d know where to start.

@paviro Ah, well thanks for the feedback. I’m hoping to get a bit of a hybrid between that app and pulling data from my own weather station. I’d like to keep the sunrise/sunset and the current conditions coming in from openweathermap and put my own station’s temp/wind. Was thinking modifying his would be a little easier than from scratch. :) Maybe I’ll get lucky and he’ll see this and point me in the right direction.

And there comes the “Doh!” moment! :D Thanks completely overlooked that…

Okay a bit later and I found this:
http://electron.atom.io/docs/api/

I don’t know if it will help or if I should use anything on it so if you have any knowledge of this please advise.

Go for node. Adding a python solution would make no sense.

@paviro Nice. I’ll definitely try it

Found a workaround! Use the shell within node to export the pins. Works without root if the user is added to the gpio group, to do that execute sudo useradd -g pi gpio.

Setup the pins const exec = require('child_process').exec; exec("echo '22' > /sys/class/gpio/export", null); exec("echo 'in' > /sys/class/gpio/gpio22/direction", null); exec("echo '17' > /sys/class/gpio/export", null); exec("echo 'out' > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/direction", null); Control the pins gpio.setup('sys'); gpio.wiringPiISR(22, gpio.INT_EDGE_BOTH, function(delta) { if (gpio.digitalRead(22) == 1) { console.log("High"); gpio.digitalWrite(17, 1) } else if (gpio.digitalRead(22) == 0) { console.log("Low"); gpio.digitalWrite(17, 0) } });

Well that’s true :/
