@cowboysdude I will be. I’m currently doing a Tutorial on Instructables for it with all background code for dimming and LED control, and important dimensions to fit in the case. I will link to the three files used in it.
When it’s done, I will post a link on this thread
@mykle1 Well, Based on Australian Dollars>
Raspberry Pi 4 4gb - $105
4.3" DSI Screen - $ 80
Noctua Fan - $ 27
3D Print (Material) $ 8
TOTAL $220
Enjoyment building $priceless LOL
@thgmirror Just the fan. I put a hole in the top for a set of headphones so I don’t disturb my partner, although it rarely gets used for anything other than a clock and phone charger.
@thgmirror HAHAHA Your not the first to see that. Shoulda put three slots in the top LOL :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Built this during lockdown. PI 4 and 4.3" touch screen with auto dimming, and various other button features. The case was printed on the Guider 2s and I use a Magsafe connector instead of a puchin connector which is unsightly. I have also disabled the internal LED’s so they don’t glow through the white case

@sdetweil said in MMM-MyWeather not working with Southern Hemisphere co-ordinates:
nodejs xml to json
Thanks Sam, I will see what i can do

@saabman yep. I have found the xml to be a problem and out of my range of knowledge. OpenWeather is close to accurate for my location for current conditions,. the particular site location uses excellent monitoring equipment, just a few degrees out, but for forecasting its not that accurate.
@jolt02 All these weather sites use data from private weather enthusiasts that have varying equipment so the accuracy will never be 100% spot on. Im using data from a Bassendean site which is in the proximity of my place. It is “close” but as there is no official BOM reading for the area, who is to say its wrong. BOM get there Temps for ‘Perth’ from their site at the airport and in the city,
I find a lot of the “Pro” sites like weather channel, Google etc are using data from sites in the northern Hemisphere. This can make it very hard to know what is the correct temp. I have an API from BOM but haven’t figured out the coding as they don;t use Json.
I would like to get data from Windy.com for cloud and wave data but that is expensive
try taking out the Lon And Lat and use a PWS like for me would be… Perth (IPERTH921). This usually happens when the site can’t match a co-ordinate to a location.
I have tried various modules that require Lon and Lat or area and found this happens a lot ‘down under’ as there seems to be less active locations than in the northern hemisphere.
for my mirror I used default weatherforecast and MMM-OpenmapWeather . Both of these use Open Weather map that has locations rather than co-ordinates.
MMM-MyWeather also uses locations (PWS)
