wxmap

what's poppin' in my airspace? arduino map to display wx for the US

roadmap

• Set up config.json file to map an LED id to an IATA code
• In firmware, pull config.json to map to LEDs
• Pull + store METAR every 5mins for all configured
• Implement single display mode
• Extend display modes for all attributes w/ mapping
  • Ceiling
  • Visibility
  • Temperature
  • Wind
• Set up Web UI
  • Mode selection
  • LED/IATA mapping

Data Source

AviationWeather.gov is an unauthenticated dataserver that is used by nearly every FAA-based API, so it will be easiest to use that. https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?dataSource=metars&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&hoursBeforeNow=3&mostRecentForEachStation=true&stationString=KORD,KJFK,KLAX

Configurability

Ideally, this project will allow the configuration of any US-based IATA code. This is beneficial because users will be able to choose any FAA VFR sectional map and place their LEDs in custom locations, even aside from Class C/B.

config.json

config.json is a default configuration file for the NEUS map. Should the web interface be unconfigured, this will be the fallback option. The current schema for this JSON object is simply 'LEDnum': 'IATA code'.
