I decided to create my own live sectional map that pulls METAR data from the aviationweather .gov servers. Took me a good amount of time learning to code & even had my own custom PCB board designed and produced for this project which was a really cool experience.

/u/mhawk1134 - were you impacted by the FAA's server change yesterday?

So far one person has contacted me with an issue. I'm working on some updates and changes to patch the issues

If you don’t mind me asking, what is the cap you used for the LEDs (pic 3)? If it isn’t a cap, what is the part number for the LEDs?

Hey, it is a "LED light pipe", can be found on aliexpress.
