Another Cornell final project, Weather Canvas aims to make watching the weather a little more pleasant. Data is captured via a thermometer, humidity sensor, anemometer, and a Hotwheels radar gun turned precipitation sensor. Once it’s captured, it’s transmitted to the LED matrix inside which displays pretty patterns to convey the weather conditions. They have set images, like icons, that mean different things.
why not just look outside. isn’t nature pretty enough?

@syale
ever had to work or live in a room without windows/skylight?
Wut? No arduino. This is arduino-a-day isn’t it?
Fail. The writeup doesn’t explain how they managed to get the display circuit to hover above the anemometer… :)
That sounds really cool!
