In this project, we used the power of the Raspberry Pi to create an IoT analog weather dashboard. In this case, this involved an internet-controlled servo used as an analog meter. It's not too hard to imagine how we may alter our code to display data other than weather data. Picture an analog meter displaying the tank level from a distant factory, where the level data is communicated over the internet.
The intuitive nature of analog meters makes them perfect for applications where a glance of the data is all that is required. Combining analog meters with data from the internet creates a whole new world of data display.
In Chapter 7, Setting Up a Raspberry Pi Web Server, we will take a step away from the analog world and explore how we may use the Raspberry Pi as a web server and build a web based dashboard.
