Project Description Heading link
The Arduinos will connect to a mobile device using Bluetooth. This will tell the users various information about the weather and indoor conditions. There will be four systems in total to give the user an interactive experience to look and understand the weather conditions. The Arduinos will read data from the weather app on the mobile device and display LED colors based on the different types of weather. The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) will also display the temperature read from the mobile app and display a small image of the type of weather. These images can be suns, clouds, rain, snow,etc. There will also be a sound produced based on the weather. Every morning at a set time, a sound will be played depending on the type of weather collected from the app. A different type of weather will produce a different sound. For example, the sound can be rain noises, heavy winds, sun shining, etc. Also, if the user doesn’t want to hear this sound, there will be a button to stop the sound. There will also be a part in which the LCD reads the indoor temperatures of the room that you are in by reading input from a temperature sensor.
