Built raspbian wheezy from here
Set up the touch screen with the adafruit guide here
curl -SLs https://apt.adafruit.com/add-pin | sudo bash sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-bootloader sudo apt-get install adafruit-pitft-helper
then
sudo adafruit-pitft-helper -t 28r
Would you like the console to appear on the PiTFT display? [y/n]
I selected no (actually had to rerun and select yes)
Would you like GPIO #23 to act as a on/off button? [y/n]
I selected yes
then restarted the Pi – sudo reboot
added: sudo nano /boot/config.txt
set rotate to 270
Pi and screen set up
download this package
I unpacked on my pc and ftp’d to the /home/PI folder
copy to your Pi and build and install
$ python setup.py build $ python setup.py install
Then install the Pi Daemon with the instructions from here and here
unpacked, ftp, build and install
$ python setup.py build $ python setup.py install
Download the python weather module from here
I extracted the data and copied it to the /home/PI directory (actually /opt/)
sudo chmod 777 opt
To start the script
sudo python PiTFTWeather.py start
auto start the script
sudo name /etc/rc.local
add the line
sudo python /opt/PiTFTWeather/PiTFTWeather.py start
Configure the wifi dongle here
Here’s how to open it with nano:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
and make it look like so:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "your-network-name"
wpa-psk "password-here"
You can save file with “ctrl+x” followed by “y”.
Note (check the wipi is recognised – lsusb -t
* check the wipi is actually named wlan0 – iwconfig
change motd sudo nano /etc/motd.tail
