An Update on the Antique Weather Clock

Here is an update on my latest project, the antique weather clock.

I took an old clock, removed the mechanism and replaced it with an Arduino (micro-controller) that checks the weather on the Environment Canada website every fifteen minutes and update the hands accordingly. It also has a web server so I can check the weather and update the settings from a web browser.

It's nearly finished at this point and I hope to upload a video of it running sometime in the next week.

Thanks! All I need to do now

Thanks! All I need to do now is finish the web interface and I'm done.

Can it only show the weather

Can it only show the weather in Canada?

With some minor modification

With some minor modification it could show the weather anywhere. I would just need to change the website the clock obtains weather information from.
