Solar clock and weather dashboard

This is a fun project I’ve wanted to build for a long time—displaying the time of day in a linear way, like the solar path, where time moves from left (0 AM) to right (24 PM). This gives me an intuitive sense of the time.

I also added weather information at the bottom, including a five-day forecast with updates every three hours. I love this feature—just a quick glance gives you a clear picture of the weather trend.

The dashboard is open source on my GitHub: [W16_PiDashboard]. This project uses JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and Python (for the backend).

If you're not comfortable running Python commands, you can easily convert the Python program into an executable and run it on your Raspberry Pi effortlessly.
