In celebration of Eclipse Day we have made this app to tell you what the weather is outside so you know if you will be able to see the eclipse or not with your current local weather conditions. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for locating your general location to give you information about the weather via a series of LED animations on a Raspberry Pi with a MATRIX Creator. It demonstrates how to use the IP-API.com to find your location and then feed it to the Dark Sky API to get the relevant local weather information that will be used to show an LED animation on your MATRIX Creator. The main goal of this app was to give an interesting new way to receive your current weather conditions.”
