Weather Display

Created on 29 Nov 2015

A hang-up LED display of the weather forecast, so you don't have to check it yourself!

The project pulls up weather data from the Internet and displays them on a LED screen. The device will be portable and light enough to hang on the wall so that a person can just wake up and look at the project to see the weather forecasts for tomorrow! It's like a wall decoration, except actually useful.
