Kindle Dashboard

Using a Kindle 4 to display weather and train times


This is the image generation code and runtime scripts for my Kindle dashboard that I keep on my nightstand.

example system

Much of the Kindle-specific work here was done by David Hamp-Gonsalves and modified a little by myself, as was the general SSR'd image-based architecture. However, the image generation code is my own and was built from scratch using the Met Office DataPoint API and the RealtimeTrains pull API.

The image generation code is an importable Go library within the imagegen directory.

The Kindle

This project runs on a jailbroken Kindle 4 with a couple of additional packages on top. More detail coming soon, but broadly speaking it has the same runtime dependencies as David's version.
