Modern dev boards pack so much in that you can make some really interesting things with only one or two extra components. We caught up with Badr Tharwat to find out about a weather monitor he made with a servo, a Particle Aragon and a battery.
"My name is Badr, and I’m a solution architect with a passion for tinkering and building things.
"This is a fun project for younger children to help build. For a kid learning to translate the abstract temperature to actionable information, it can be rather challenging. Even grown-ups might struggle to digest weather data into actionable info. In this kid-friendly project, the abstract temperature/weather data is indicated as an outfit to wear.
"I read the weather data from openweathermap.com, and update a servo controlled by a Particle Argon chip. The enclosure and dial were made out of balsa wood sheets, with printed illustrations selected by the kids.
