New Weather Agent

Post by thetribster »

I've modified the existing Infowidget to accommodate a more complete view of the weather from the yahoo forecast feed. I've attached a php file and the binary as well as the Spin file. The call is /NewInfoWidget.php?z=<zipcode>. This version clears the screen on repaints, the newer version doesn't - I also have it set for 15sec refresh.

Any questions let me know.

I am in the process of developing a new widget that can support "channels" - no limit on the number of channels. Right now I only have them going forward sequentially - I need to dive into the IR stuff and see how that can control the page number. I've done something similar with the Arduino so it shouldn't be too difficult - although SPIN isn't pretty...

I agree. spin is frustrating.

I'm really looking forward to trying out this widget. This project needs way more of them.

EDIT: I can't see any attached php script.. is there something I'm missing?

I don't see the SPIN or Binary files as being available to download - can anyone else see them?

The PHP software is running from one of my sites so if you can connect then you can point the NewInfoWidget to the following:

www.stratalighting.com
/NewInfoWidget.php?z=<zipcode>
66.147.240.166

This isn't a static address but has been the same for a few months now.

It looks like the PHP is posted (as .txt), but the spin code is not. I'd like to try it!

Not sure what happened to those when I posted. I'll be happy to email them as attachments (SPIN, BINARY and PHP) to anyone that wants them - my email if [email protected]
