I just whipped up this script that checks and displays the weather through rssweather.com. As always, it requires feedparser, an arduino, and a lcd screen. It is currently configured to read Burlington Vt’s weather, so if you don’t live there – change it in the python file. Check out the commenting for more info. Click here to download the zip file.

For those of you just tuning in – you might want to check out the original arduino rss reader post for more details
Also check out the twitter feed reader.
Hey i was just wondering if you knew of a way of using processing to get the RSS Feeds instead as i am unable to understand the python coding?
Hey Blair – I’ve never used this before but here is a link that talks about parsing rss in processing.

Good luck!
Can you fetch data from a web site which does not have any RSS feed?
yes, but it gets much much more complicated. You would need to download the html and then script a way to pull out the data that you want. It is doable, but not easy.
