How it's done

This website summarises weather data logged by a Davis Vantage Pro weather station which is downloaded to a BeagleBoard credit card sized computer. This is a good alternative to the Raspberry Pi

Communication between the Beagle and the weather station is handled by the very polished and highly customisable Weewx software (version 3.0.1). Weewx downloads a data record from the weatherstation every 5 minutes and stores it in a database on the Pi. It also creates all the graphs and webpages and uploads these to the website every 5 minutes, and also to Weather Underground.

This website uses a skin which uses Bootstrap v2.3.2 to deal with most of the layout and presentation. The gauges and the history tables are generated by Python scripts written to hook into the Weewx package. I translated the pages to German which is almost done (Michael - DL2FW)

The code for gauge rendering (gaugeengine.py) and history table generation (historygenerator.py) can be found in this github repository: github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer

Code for the Weewx skin is seperated into two directories, "Bootstrap" which generates the html files and renders the gauges, and "images" which generates the history graphs at two different resolutions. Thy can also be found in the github repository: skins.
