Hybrid Design

For this project, I was given a task to use the information from a weather station, and figure out a way to implement the information using Processing and Arduino coding. Since this was not a coding project, I was able to look up a processing code for the graphics, which I found on this site from the user Ja-no, and change it up to connect the code to a weather station via an HTML link.

Along with the digital output through Processing, I was also required to have a physical output through the Arduino board.
The physical output I had was a light compass I made by setting up a breadboard with four white LED lights arranged for the four directions, and using that as a way to show the direction the wind is blowing.

The videos are demonstrations of my project at work, one with the display on the screen, and the other with the display projected on the ceiling.

Arduino Pin and Variable Setup

I setup four Arduino pin variables to connect to four LEDs. The three KLGB_XML variables are to setup the data variable to connect to the weather station in the assigned city.

Setting up the Arduino LED pins so the LEDs light up if the wind is blowing in a certain direction.
