Fork of PiClock that uses custom dark maps from MapBox with an additional map overlay for the radar windows so that weather does not obscure map information.

The radar windows consist of three layers:

• Bottom layer is a plain MapBox dark map with no labels, borders, or roads.
• Middle layer is the weather radar imagery.
• Top layer is a transparent MapBox map with only labels, borders, and roads.

A Fancy Clock built around a monitor and a Raspberry Pi

This project started out as a way to waste a Saturday afternoon. I had a Raspberry Pi and an extra monitor and had just taken down an analog clock from my living room wall. I was contemplating getting a radio sync'ed analog clock to replace it, so I didn't have to worry about it being accurate.

But instead the PiClock was born.

The early days and evolution of it are chronicled on my blog http://n0bel.net/v1/index.php/projects/raspberry-pi-clock

If you want to build your own, I'd suggest starting with the overview https://github.com/SerBrynden/PiClock/blob/master/Documentation/Overview.md

If you want to use the PiClock on your desktop (not your Pi), I'd suggest using these instructions. https://github.com/SerBrynden/PiClock/blob/master/Documentation/Install-Clock-Only.md

All the extra hardware (IR Remote, GPIO buttons, Temperature, LEDs) are optional, so you can then jump to the install guide https://github.com/SerBrynden/PiClock/blob/master/Documentation/Install.md

Of course, you can jump to the hardware guide anytime https://github.com/SerBrynden/PiClock/blob/master/Documentation/Hardware.md
