Ambient Orb and ORBneXt Circuit Playground and CircuitPython Project
Building a weather reactive ORBneXt-like project using Circuit Playground and CircuitPython.
The code on the computer gets current temperature information from openweathermap.org, reformats it, and sends it over the serial port (USB) to the Playground which is sitting there waiting for it. Once received, it gets converted to a color from within a spectrum ranging from blue, the coldest, to red, the warmest. That color is then used to fill the pixels for display.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
