In Chapter 2, Writing Python Programs Using Raspberry Pi, we wrote code that simulates calls to a web service that supplies weather information. Taking what we learned in this chapter, let's revisit that code and give it a physical computing upgrade. We will use our LED to flash a Morse code representation of our weather data.
