I made my digital project display the current weather outside! I'm also checking the weather so I figured this would be helpful! I really struggle with coding and things, so this was challenging for me. I wish I had a little more time to try to get something a little cooler going on with my digital project!

I haven't yet started soldering my board, as I decided to focus on laser cutting my pieces first. I'm super excited because I have almost all of my pieces cut! Next I think I'll start soldering and then do my 3D printing.

Digital Project Ideation

What is your idea for the digital project?

I check the weather every morning before I get dressed, so I was thinking it could be nice for me to have the weather on my microcontroller! I was also thinking it could be nice for me to have a cute little message like "Don't forget to water me!" because my amplifier is a little flower vase/pot. I also have a lot of interest in doing a temperature censor of the room, though I'm not sure I'll have enough time for all of those ideas!

What microcontroller and (if applicable) additional electronics will you use?

I would need the SF weather, which would just be stuff I could get with wifi. If I also did an indoor temperature censor then I would need the piece for that too!

Will the project be part of your speakers or standalone?

I would like to have it on my amplifier!

In this worksheet I learned about negative indexing and how lists work in code! I don't really understand how to print "str" things still...

I've always been someone who struggles with code, so I was definitely a little nervous to have to Python. However, the tutorial was relatively easy to follow and between the explanations and help from my partner, I feel like I have a better understanding of basic commands! Specifically, I now understand how to do the "if" and "else" commands! I'm still a little confused about how tab-ing works in Python and how to get a chunk of code as a sub-part of another.
