01 / THE BUILD

Make a hobby part of the room.

I love weather, and I wanted the lab to have a dedicated display for it. The idea is to glance over and see the sky taking shape through radar, forecasts, and useful conditions.

02 / THE BUILD

Start with the hardware already here.

The Raspberry Pi handles the monitor output. It gives the display a place alongside the rest of the lab and a way to experiment with a web dashboard in kiosk mode.

03 / THE BUILD

Clarity before more panels.

The cleanup work keeps the dark design, enlarges radar and forecast charts, improves spacing, and makes feed status clearer. A historical-metrics placeholder was removed instead of leaving a panel that suggested more than was connected.

04 / THE BUILD

Room to grow.

Nearby lightning and a future Tempest weather station are interests for the project. They remain roadmap items until the corresponding feeds and hardware have been connected and verified.

THE TAKEAWAYBigger, useful panels beat a wall of tiny numbers on an always-on display.

STILL CURIOUS

What’s next?

Finish checking the installed Pi layout and feeds, then explore a personal weather-station integration.
