Displaying local weather conditions through LEDs
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of the project was to create a method of displaying local weather conditions on the robots in the UT CS Department’s segbots, specifically through the use of communication between a Python script and an Arduino connected to Pololu LEDs. Specifically, this resulted in the presentation of specifically the temperature in the Austin area. While the goal of the project was technically accomplished, there were some limitations that were faced in implementing the project and with possible expansions of the project, and currently exist within the source code. Various approaches for solutions for these limitations are discussed. Finally, while this project was a useful venture, the main potential of this project lies within future extensions. These possibilities are discussed at the end of the paper.

This paper investigates the welfare effect of travelling through congested areas and adverse weather through changes in the speed of individuals’ car trips based on the entire commuting trip. Weather measurements are local and time specific (hourly basis). As most commuters travel twice a day between home and work, we are able to employ panel data techniques, which deals with issues related to ...

Many studies have demonstrated influences of climatic variation on a variety of ecological processes, however, its impact on the potent evolutionary force of sexual selection has largely been ignored. The intensity of sexual selection is a fundamental parameter in animal populations, which depends upon the degree of polygamy and will probably be influenced by the impact of local climatic variat...
