github a c0rn weatherstar3000 hopefully this is an application

This creates the old-school looking weather channel that was common on Winnipeg cable TV into the 1990s. This uses 'ECData' from env_canada to get the weather data from Environment Canada. It can be found here: (https://github.com/michaeldavie/env_canada). It also uses the font VCR OSD Mono (https://www.dafont.com/vcr-osd-mono.font). It was tested on a Raspberry Pi 3, but should run on other models as well. Because it uses tkinter, it must be launched from the GUI in raspbian.

I recommend disabling screenblank, and turning on overscan for best results. If you're launching this from an SSH session, I recommend doing so through a script file with the following: This code is available under the terms of the [MIT License] I started 11 years ago with a weather FB group, using raw weather data, in a messed up 80s style webcast. Introduced PowerPoint slides, converted into MPEG4 with music..far too time consuming. Re-branded my channels, FB and YT, and lost my fans and ratings.

Hoping to be one of new amateurs to produce LIVE 24/7 coverage with my FB group and only worry about in-studio cut-ins with my OBS pgm.

This project aims to bring back the feel of the 80's with a weather forecast that has the look and feel of The Weather Channel at that time but available in a modern way. This is by no means intended to be a perfect emulation of the WeatherStar 3000, the hardware that produced those wonderful blue and white text you saw during the local forecast on The Weather... Instead, this project intends to create a simple to use interface with minimal configuration fuss. Some changes have been made to the screens available because either more or less forecast information is available today than was in the 80's. Most of these changes are captured in sections below. This project is based on a sister project Weatherstar 4000+

There are a lot of CORS considerations and issues with api.weather.gov that are easiest to deal with by running a local server to see this in action (or use the live link above). You'll need Node.js >18.0 to run the local server. Selected displays, the forecast city and widescreen setting are sticky from one session to the next. However if you would like to share your exact configuration or bookmark it click the "Copy Permalink" (or get "Get Parmalink") near the bottom of the page. A URL will be copied to your clipboard with all of you selected displays and location (or copy it from the page if your browser doesn't support clipboard transfers directly).
