Using an ESP32 and some WS2811 LEDs, this project is a map of NOAA NWS weather station temperatures in across the state of Michigan pulled from the free-to-use NWS JSON API. I originally had the ESP32 pulling data from an Apps Script project, then Cloudflare Workers, and now all calculations are done right on the device itself. The code calculates Astronomical Dawn and Dusk and slowly fades in brightness over the day, peaking at solar noon.
