Blog Post #8 - Making my Clock - Part 3

To get the temperature as live data I needed to choose a website. To keep it simple I went onto BBC weather and their 3 day forecast. I chose the location of London because it can give an average of such a big space and the University is close to the city.

Here is the segment I created for the live temperature:

The output at the bottom is the temperature that I would input into the top of my temperature segment. However, to keep my patches neat I decided to make this a sub-patch and link them in that way.

Here is the temperature with the sub-patch linked:

Even this seemed untidy to me so I eventually decided to put all of the temperature (above) into a sub-patch. So here is the final main patch:

I'm very happy with how this looks in terms of tidiness. And everything still works.

Here is the renderer now that I have finished:

So my project includes two sets of live data: the time from the PC directly and the temperature.
