Ever leave the house in shorts and a T-shirt only to get soaked by a torrential downpour in the afternoon? Wouldn't it be nice if you knew to bring gear for a rainy day? Weathermate solves this problem by letting you know what you need.

Weathermate uses a online resource called If This Than That which is able to take the daily weather report and send it to a drop box folder. This file is then moved and renamed by Hazel so that Processing can read the file and send the necessary instructions to the Arduino, which are the the brains of Weathermate

The Arduino Code:

#include "Servo.h"

Servo motor;

Servo motor2;

Servo motor3;

int x;

int r;

void setup() {

  //Set up for Sensor

  pinMode(3, INPUT);

  // Set up for Sun

  pinMode(6, OUTPUT);

  motor.attach(6);

  pinMode(7, OUTPUT);

  //Set up for Rain

  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);

  motor2.attach(9);

  motor2.write(90);

  pinMode(8, OUTPUT);

  //Set up for Snow

  pinMode(11, OUTPUT);

  motor3.attach(11);

  pinMode(12, OUTPUT);

  Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop() {

  //this was for testing purposes so that we could see where the what instruction the Arduino had.

  Serial.println(r);

  //Senses if a person is there

  if(digitalRead(3) == HIGH){

    //If it is going to rain

    if (r == 1) {

      

      Serial.println("Rain");

      digitalWrite(8, HIGH);

      motor2.write(180);

      delay(2000);

      Serial.println("180");

    

      motor2.write(90);

      Serial.println("90");

      delay(5000);

      motor2.write(0);

      delay(600);

      Serial.println("0");

      motor2.write(90);

      Serial.println("90");

      delay(5000);

      digitalWrite(8, LOW);

      

      Serial.println("Rain");

    }

    //if it is going to be sunny 

    if (r == 2) {

      //we only had one srvo mottor so  the code for it was simple for this one.

      motor.write(0);

      digitalWrite(7, HIGH);

      Serial.println("Sunnnnnnnnn");

      delay(5000);

      motor.write(180);

      digitalWrite(7, LOW);  

    }

    //If it was going to snow / the weather was going to be cold

    if (r == 3) {

      Serial.println("Rain");

      digitalWrite(12, HIGH);

      motor3.write(180);

      delay(2000);

      Serial.println("180");

    

      motor3.write(90);

      Serial.println("90");

      delay(5000);

      motor3.write(0);

      delay(600);

      Serial.println("0");

      motor3.write(90);

      Serial.println("90");

      delay(5000);

      digitalWrite(12, LOW);

     

    }

  }

  

// This was the basic function we used to take the incoming information and 

// translate it to a variable that Arduino could use. 

  if (Serial.available()) {

    x = Serial.read();

    x  = x-48 ;

    Serial.println(x);

    if (x == 1 || x == 2 || x==3 || x==4) {

      r= x;

    }

  }

}
