Aren't you tired of constantly visiting different websites to check the weather forecast or the pollen count? Now the help's here; your own personal PlotClock, which responds to your tweets. This code gives you the answers to "how is the weather?" PlotClocken gives you a short description of the weather in one hour and the temperature. "what time is it?" PlotClocken gives you the hour and minutes. "what is the pollen count?" PlotClocken gives you the pollen count for birch and grass. "what is the power demand in UK?" PlotClocken gives you the UK energy demand in MW. Note that all information is for Copenhagen, Denmark. The case and fittings are all laser cut in veneer and the top in acrylic. No glue is needed making assembling and separation easy. Through the IBM platform Node-RED tweets and data are collected and sent to the NodeMCU. The message is thereafter plotted on the paper, which movement is controlled by a stepper. Also an infrared sensor is telling you if the paper roll is empty. Among other things, the code includes parameterization of the alphabet, numbers and a few signs. The total cost is approximately 24 US dollars. It consists of the following parts: NodeMCU, Stepper, 3 x servo, Infrared sensor, Cables, Paper roll, Veneer and acrylic (to be lasercut)
