What is your idea for the digital project?
My idea for my digital project is a screen that will read out the windspeed and tide of the water near my house.
What microcontroller and (if applicable) additional electronics will you use?
I think I just need the microcontroller with a screen
Will the project be part of your speakers or standalone?
Standalone
I made a realtime tracker of the windspeed near my house, as this is something pretty important to my rowing, and it saves me having to check it every morning. I encountered a few challenges, but mainly it took some time getting used to python coding, as well as understanding how the adafruit library works. I also learned a lot about how API's work.
A challenge or two you solved with your microcontroller
Todays challenge was figuring out where the windspeed was in the JSON data, as it didn't seem nested in the expected way
To solve this, I used the JSON formatter to find out where the wind speed was.
