Color

This is the basic Weather Orbs kit. It has everything you need to assemble the device except a Raspberry Pi Zero W (with headers). Unless optioned otherwise, the front case housing is black, and the rear case housing is grey. The face is brushed stainless steel.

The current iteration of the device can provide:

  • Live NOAA Satellite Images
  • Live NWS Radar
  • Live Coastline Cameras (Surfline)
  • Custom Feeds (image-based webcams, image-based data, etc.)
  • Text-Based Weather Forecasts (up to 7 days)

The partial assembly option includes all assembly possible without a Raspberry Pi Zero W:

  • Faceplates cleanly glued in place
  • Screens installed into front case housing
  • PCB plugged into front case housing
  • Rubber feet installed
  • Light ring installed
  • Wiring completed

All that's left for you to do is:

  • Install the Raspberry Pi in the device with the included SD card (two screws)
  • Plug the screens into the Pi (simple connector)
  • Carefully tighten down the front case housing (one screw)
  • Install the metal faceplate

Unless otherwise stated, opting for one of the available colors will not significantly increase the lead time.
