"I am a prototype, not a smiley face."

This pressure sensing device consists of an Arduino board, a bread board, pressure sensor, a few LEDs and some wire. The device helps to visualize the ambient air pressure. The lower the air pressure, the lower the number of glowing LEDs and the higher the air pressure, the higher the number of lit LEDs. Lower air pressure usually means that stormy weather is more likely, and higher pressure usually indicates fair or sunny weather.

its a nice prototype but i think the LEDs should be prominently visible- i mean we could make small holes so that the led is visible prominently..the lights are now getting diverse which makes it wage and blurry..
the reason why I decided to go with a line instead of individual lights, is that I think it would be neat if we represented air pressure as something continuous and not discrete. I think (even though it's hard to see in the picture because of light reflection) that we can control light a little more with cotton or some other material
