OK, that one is cool.

If you like that then seems a shame not to give Mark Crossley's Instromet Climatica console simulation a plug:

(Live data from a Davis station - with apologies to Instromet of course!)

Cool vintage "looking" webpage. I like the physicality of using unrelated hardware as a display. Little bit of a stumpunker/repurposed here.

This is so cool.  Our old cable company had an analog weather channel in the 1970s.  Gauges were very similar to these. I saw this in action when we went in to pay our bill.  It was a wood box about waist high with a glass top.  The camera would pan to each gauge for a few seconds, then move to the next one.  They used audio from a pop FM station.

I’d love to build one & run an HDMI splitter to all the tv’s in my house.

I remember a post here in the past (maybe I did it) about restoring an early weather channel like device that had a camera panning gauges.
