Train and Weather Tracker with Raspberry Pi and E-Ink


A dashboard with the weather forecast and top headlines is an easy, but useful little project.

So every morning we're calling out, when's the next G, when's the next F — and one of us pulls out a phone for the MTA app or Google Maps and yells back the upcoming train times. This goes on my DIY pantheon along with adding legs to her dresser to make it a better height and fixing a towel rack right before she hosted her colleagues for a book club. I'm not great at woodworking and I also didn't want to spend $300-$500, which was the range of quotes (FWIW, I have been trying to find a low cost framing solution for these broken glass pieces for years — let me know if you have any ideas).
