Notes:

In order to use the plugin sensibly, you need a remote-capable rotor and the PSTRotator (AZ) software, which provides a web server. There are currently complications with the weather plugin because it is located directly above the rotor display. If you still don't want to do without it, you should adapt the following lines in frontend.js (weather plugin script):

This will move the weather plugin a little to the left and no longer overlay the rotor.

Users of the RDS-Logger plugin please install version 1.3h or higher!
