Apologies for crossposting from hardware, I didn’t spot this forum.

Just showing off!
I recently got a small fanless DLP projector, and wanted to try to find something to do with it. So, couple it with a raspberryPi Zero W and Magic Mirror I now have a status display for my bedroom ceiling! The modules are enabled/disabled on a schedule stored in Google Calendar.

The projector is almost silent, though you can just about hear the motor spinning the colour wheel (important because I live in the country and it’s very quiet here).

Apologies for the image quality, my phone is old and doesn’t focus well at all in the dark!

Description:

This is a weather module that used the MetOffice Datapoint as its data-source for 3 hourly forecasts.
Very much a first release, I’ve squished some bugs, and it works for me, but I’m sure there’s more in there.

Screenshots:

Compact View

Compact with everything turned on - ugly!

Version 0.1-initial

My first attempt at a module, comments welcome.
Documentation is on GitHub
screenshots are a teeny bit different from the release, but not much.

I guess the bottom line is the question “can nodejs access the data?”

A quick search turned up more than one npm module for reading xls files.

Not sure pulling from an Excel sheet is particularly sensible, probably more sensible to push from Excel on change to a more accessible source.
