You may remember the planetary gears from my Magic: the Gathering life trackers . I kinda took them up a notch.
This device shows current weather and temperature, a forecast, and the time of the two low tides of the day. It has a Raspberry Pi and connects to the internet to get the updated data.
I have a video of the gear rotation in action , and another of some during-development footage .
I wrote a long Medium post about it that you can read if you want more details. I’m also happy to answer questions here.

Very cool. I suppose one could integrate various local sensors available and build a weather station with local conditions. Or s combination. Ohhh so many possibilities. I really like the tide indicator though.
