Desktop Widget II

myminifactory

Some information we need to see all the time, like the date or the current time. Depending on what you're doing, it might also be helpful to have other info like the weather or the time in different parts of the world. This information can show up on your computer screen, but that's not always the best solution for a few reasons. So, I created a Desktop Widget (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:857858) some time ago. Since the display space is very limited, I've now made a bigger one with sharper edges and harder lines to give it a clearer, more definite look. Of course, you can use this as just another weather display, but I also need to see the current exchange rate and the time in different cities around the world at my fingertips. You can find code examples and detailed instructions for building this project here: https://hackaday.io/project/11081-forex-display. This is just one possible way to use it, but there are many other possibilities as well.
