Some time ago my weather server had definitively death. To replace my wBox, I decided to buy the cheapest 8'' tablet running on Windows 10 to be able to project current weather conditions continuously.
I use WH 2080 personal weather station, had no problems to install Cumulus MX, connect the station and transfer the data and hang my tablet on the wall using simple holders. I decided to turn off the options of screen. In browser I turned off the updates option because they evoke restart after the installation and I update both manually from time to time.
As I considered that it’s easier to interpret numbers than gauges concerning current weather conditions and this is why I decided to build a brand new website that would answer my needs, apart from HTML I used JavaScript. Thanks to that the data are being read and actualized every <#realtimeinterval> interval (eg. 20 sec.) causing no need to refresh the whole website!
Web’s size corresponds to the tablet or monitor screen resolution (eg. 800 x 1280 px). I’ve hidden the scroll bar purposefully! Web browser must be support with JavaScript and work in full screen mode – from Android system I’m using Dolphin Express web browser, and Firefox from Windows. As displays I used to good effect different tablets, large monitors 22''' and even my old HTC HD2

The solution which I present is designed for holders weather stations - not for all users, because the screen does not have labels! I gave up with any descriptions with few exceptions only, web’s structure is simplified at the most although it may not be simple

The data is read by the library’s wBox.js (and other) from the two files: realtime.txt and realmore.txt, code below
Code: Select all
<#pressYL> <#TpressYL> <#pressYH> <#TpressYH> <#pressTL> <#TpressTL> <#pressTH>
<#TpressTH> <#WindRoseData> <#realtimeinterval>
