This code run's Rob's BigWeatherBug, a small wall-mounted weather display based on a Raspberry PI and a 3.5 inch display.

• BigWeatherBug

From the big_bug.py file in this project:

• This project implements a "Big"WeatherBug", a small, enclosed display
• that can be mounted on the wall to show the current temperature,
• weather conditions, and forecast. It is written in Python using
• the Python game framework.
• This uses the Raspberry Pi 3 single board computer, using the
• 'PiTFT Plus 480x320 3.5" TFT+Touchscreen for Raspberry Pi' from
• Adafruit for a display. See https://www.adafruit.com/product/2441
• The case is also from Adafruit and is specifically designed to fit this
• particular screen. See https://www.adafruit.com/product/2779
• This code uses weather data from OpenWeatherMap: http://openweathermap.org
• Adafruit is an excellent source for hobby electronics, check them out today!

• My first go at this was the "Little Weather Bug", which is documented
• on GitHub at: https://github.com/robhafernik/LittleWeatherBug
• This new version uses the display referenced above, along with the
• pygame library for python to draw the display. Some complicaton is
• added by having two color levels for everything: one for daytime and
• one for nighttime (the day mode is just too bright at night).
• Released into the public domain, do with it as you will. It is not,
• however, warranted to be correct in any way.
