On Ambient Weather, I noticed some weather camera software called ImageSalsa WebCam Software. I hadn’t thought about doing this as part of my weather station but I have seen these type of pictures before that had the current temperature and other weather statistics along with a outside picture. I looked around the ImageSalsa website and notice that it was able to pull the data from the Vantage Vue and overlay the text on the picture from a web camera. The software even had the ability to upload the picture via FTP to a website.
Since I was going to have a computer anyway to log the weather data, I was really starting to like this additional equipment idea. What really sold me was the concept of a weather time-lapse movie. The same software developer also make a program called MovieSalsa which creates a movie from a series of photos. I found a sample and was sold. This looked cool.
