Agree with Jafo, Great job nick. But, seems i'm not abled to get weather info. Anyone have a suggestion? I'm in the netherlands, using the rotterdam airport for info but getting a parser error.

I had the same trouble until I figured out that I didn't need the numeric number for metar. Just remove the (metarcode) at the end of the http address and enter your airport code, without the brackets. For example: Use the 4 letter code you use on your luggage.

Hope this helps.

Now can anyone tell me how to get the cpu temp to work?

tnx, patrj, already figured out. important thing is using capitals it seems.. About temp: important that you set MBM up with correct combinations. e.g. for me that is sensor 1 together with winbond 1.

I foun the IACO letters and I placed them in the Metarcode box and it works great. I left the http address alone. Now I just have to figure out MBM 5.

Same here....beta testing means you make a mule to try things...but not necessarily worth publishing...
