Gemini AI Generated Snow Scraper Promo

 I was fooling around with the latest Gemini model and came up with this short promo video for the Snow Scraper. Its not perfect, definitely has some AI jank, but I thought it was pretty neat and wanted to share it none the less.  

Snow Scraper GUI Progress

I have made significant progress on the touchscreen GUI interface. So far I have the splash logo, main menu, resort selection screen, Wi-Fi configuration screen (with onscreen keyboard) working. Here are a couple screen shots:

I am working on finishing up the actual resort snowfall display screen but here is the current prototype I am working on:

Its been a lot of work but I am really happy with the progress that's been made so far. I think it makes for much more interesting display and the touchscreen is a way better way to interact with device.

New Feature: Avalanche Canada Forecasts

 

I have added the ability to display Avalanche Canada's forecasts as an option. Avalanche Canada has created an API that is easy to use and integrating it into the Snow Scraper turned out to be quite straight forward. I think it is a great addition and will be a useful feature for those looking to venture out into the backcountry. People can quickly check the region they are headed to to get an idea of what kind of conditions are currently forecasted in the area. 

Here is a prototype screen that I am currently working on implementing:
