PiClock The Next Generation: PiClock3 #230

Open n0bel opened 2 years ago

n0bel commented 2 years ago

Up until now PiClock has been a very monolithic program.

I've started a completely rewritten PiClock at the repository https://github.com/n0bel/PiClock3

This version is driven by yaml configuration files and modules.

The configuration file controls the display and the pages. Modules are then used to place content on the page.

There's no documentation, you'll need to infer how it works from the source and the config files. Currently only clocks and METAR current conditions are implemented.

Give it a try and report back what you think.

https://github.com/n0bel/PiClock3 some instructions for those willing to dare the command line are there.

Will PiClock 3 replace the current PiClock. I tried PiClock3. Works fine.

n0bel commented 2 years ago

For a couple years, after PiClock3 is implemented, I'll probably keep the original PiClock going.

Please note that PiClock3 is only partially complete.
I've updated the page to reflect current status. https://github.com/n0bel/PiClock3
Things are progressing. Any contributions are welcome.
