Sad that can’t be run on RPI…

It displays twitter stream of the tweets that have location. Red lines signify the negative sentiment and green positive. White is neutral.

You will an error message that it’s not supported.

Can’t decide if I want to use a mini pc or itx board…

You can run the MM on a different more powerful hardware, though. As for the module, I have got a POC working on my dev box with a sample data.

I’ll have to write a readme, then I’m done.
If you want to use a custom picture you just have to put your link in the config file and the module automatically uses this image.

Just do it the normal way.

[card:LukeSkywalker92/MMM-Globe]

so I could easily make the image update every x minutes and make configs for image-size and image-style just by changing the image-path.

It’s from the Himawari-8 satellite and almost live. there you could have very easily four different styles and you don’t need an api-key. I think your suggestions would be very complex to implement. What do you think about these pictures?

I like this model beter … Link

thx for your feedback and help, it’s much appriciated :) i agree with the static image and your idea with Nasa is interesting. what i had in mind when i open this post was regarding this here what is your opinion about it?
greetings

that should be no problem. I think it would be interesting to use NASA’s EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) API. There you would get two day old pictures of the globe. Here’s an example image:

You can also view the images here.

So if you would like to do that I can help you.

Displaying only an static image would not be very interesting for me.

greets Luke
