I picked up the one in the picture on Ebay for $22 bucks - simply search on "4.3 Inch TFT LCD Car Rear View Monitor Car Monitor". My first thought was to use a little composite video display. What's needed is a permanent counter-top display that the kids are not going to swipe like the iPad. Plus, just when I go to look at the weather, I discover someone has taken the iPad / weather display. However, it's a pain to load and unload the iPad in and out of the arcade cradle case. Our family (OK, mostly me) has enjoyed having the family iPad on the kitchen counter, when not in use, quietly showing the current outside weather conditions. However, it's a good start and it looks really cool on my desk. This build could easily be extended to provide much more than simply the weather. Actually, to call this build a "weather station" is a bit of an under statement. This Instructable will show you how to build a really cool Raspberry Pi Internet-based weather station. Thank you so much go to Gene Liverman at PiWeatherRock for take Up the mantle on this project. So here is the link you will want to follow: HOWEVER, there is an alternative project that does basically the same thing (only better - this Instructable was always just a hack). The weather services for the weather data, used in this Instructable, no longer work. This Instructable has fallen out of date.
