I’ll take a look at this tonight

@infamoustiggr

Yup, cowboydude is absolutely right. I went with the Automatic installer on my Raspberry Pi 3

Worked perfectly, and the directions are damn good

forecast is for Friday… Where is Thursday? :)

@cowboysdude said “Shows current conditions…rotates through the forecast.” above ^

Another question, can you switch between Celsius and Farsighted?..

Farsighted! That’s funny! :thumbsup:

@ninjabreadman

Thanks again but the problem still exists. Let me explain what I’ve done so far.

1. Added your setInterval(function().
2. Tried to seed the url of the .gif file with a timestamp but that was rejected with a 404 error.
3. Added a timestamp div/tag so I could check if the module was actually updating. It is.

This url is not refreshing upon updateDom but the timestamp is.

I’m lost. :-/

But I have to go to bed… REALLY now… :)

It’s early! And it’s Friday night!
(Yes, I know, it’s Saturday morning for you.)

Time in Sweden

Like this, because I need the seed to change. Feel free to tell me what I’m doing wrong. Hehe :-)

var getTimeStamp = new Date().getTime();
img.src = "https://icons.wxug.com/data/weather-maps/radar/united-states/united-states-current-radar-animation.gif&seed=" + getTimeStamp;
pic.appendChild(img);
wrapper.appendChild(pic);

@cowboysdude said in 1 old noob + 1 rPi = I can’t believe I did it! (revisited):

HOLY COW THAT IS JUST PLAIN AWESOME!!! Great job!!! I LOVE IT!

That’s extremely nice of you to say so. I hope I get a similar reaction from my son when the time comes.

@Snille

“250,000+ personal weather stations across the globe already send data to Weather Underground!”

Not a single one in Sweden, according to https://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/ListStations.asp?selectedCountry=Sweden

Making your code the following:

That did the trick. The .gif file is refreshing to reflect the new data when it changes.

Thanks for the lesson. I do appreciate the help.

Peace!
