Connect the 4DPi-35 to Raspberry Pi 3.

Recommended application to use for SSH connection:

Steps in Raspberry Pi Weather Station

wget https://launchpad.net/python-weather-api/trunk/0.3.8/+download/pywapi-0.3.8.tar.gz

When download is complete. Untar the file

sudo tar -xzvf pywapi-0.3.8.tar.gz

cd pywapi-0.3.8

sudo python setup.py build

sudo python setup.py install

cd ~

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

wget http://www.instructables.com/files/orig/FAQ/7BWL/I1NULEIL/FAQ7BWLI1NULEIL.zip

sudo unzip FAQ7BWLI1NULEIL.zip

cd Weather

sudo nano weather.py

                self.scaleIcon = True           # Weather icons need scaling.

                self.iconScale = 1.5            # Icon scale amount.

                self.tmdateTh = 0.100           # Time & Date Text Height

                self.tmdateSmTh = 0.06

                self.tmdateYPos = 10            # Time & Date Y Position

                self.tmdateYPosSm = 18          # Time & Date Y Position Small

                """

                # Small Display

                self.xmax = 480 - 20

                self.ymax = 320 - 5

                self.scaleIcon = False          # No icon scaling needed.

                self.iconScale = 1.0

                self.subwinTh = 0.065           # Sub window text height

                self.tmdateTh = 0.120           # Time & Date Text Height

                self.tmdateSmTh = 0.075

                self.tmdateYPos = 1             # Time & Date Y Position

                self.tmdateYPosSm = 8           # Time & Date Y Position Small

And change with self.w = pywapi.get_weather_from_weather_com(‘ASNS0055’, units='metric' )

This will change to the desired location by replacing the value ‘48085’ to ‘ASNS0055’and the units to be use from ‘imperial’ to ‘metric’. You can find your location by visiting weather.com.

Ctrl + x

Press Y, and enter.

python weather.py

cd Weather

python weather.py

sudo nano .config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

@lxterminal

Go to the bottom of the last line and add the line below. Save and exit.

Then we need to open the terminal after the raspberry pi boots up. To do this type the code below.

If all are correct, set to run after boot up. Edit the file .bashrc, this will be executed when you open the terminal. Go to the bottom of the file and add the lines below. Save and exit.

Test the file by typing,

Save the file,

Look for the line w = pywapi.get_weather_from_weather_com( '48085', units='imperial' )

Look for the line # Larger Display and put “”” before the line to uncomment and look for the line tmdateYPosSm = 8           # Time & Date Y Position Small and delete the “”” below. This will use the small display. It should look like the code below.

Open the file weather.py

Go to the folder

Unzip the file

Download he Raspberry Pi Internet Weather Station by

Reconfigure tzdata

Go back to the folder /home/pi

Install

Build

Go to the folder

When installation is successful, connect thru SSH and download python weather api.

Connect to SSH, download and install the 4DPi-Kernel. Follow the instruction on the 4DPi-35 II Datasheet.

Set up network connections (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/README.md), Enable SSH (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/README.md), change password and restart.

Install the latest raspbian OS that is available on the Raspberry Pi website . Follow the installation guide.
