Oh cool, 'weather widgets' are a fun first project for small screens and LED displays.I like showing people how to hook up ESP8266s to the OpenWeatherMap API[1] - it's a quick and useful example and it seems to get people thinking about home automation. One fun way to display the results very cheaply is to use just a few of those colored LEDs for things like temperature ('blue->yellow->red') and conditions (yellow for sunny, grey for overcast, blue for rain, etc.)[1]: <a href="https://openweathermap.org/api" rel="nofollow">https://openweathermap.org/api</a>

By "west coast" OP probably means CA. Despite popular belief there are other states on the west coast of North America. The weather in OR, WA and AK is much more variable.

> On the East coast you can be caught off guard by rain, snow, or really cold, windy weather. I’ve been caught a few times in the bad weather, to the point where I’ve started looking up the weather forecast before leaving the house.It's pretty humorous to read this perspective. The west coast must truly be as fantastic as advertised.> how do you debug hardware? One way is by using a multimeter.:(> A friend at the Recurse Center let me borrow Saleae’s logic analyzerPhew! Multimeter is not the way to go unless you really have no other option.

I'd love to see the same thing done with an Arduino Mega and a wi-fi shield. It would be a much cleaner build since most arduino boards are 5V standard.But then I'm sure you'd pay for it in the hairiness of the aruduino/led board interface, haha.
