This project is solving the In the Sky with Diamonds challenge.

A bracelet that illuminates when your favorite star/celestial body is overhead. Super simple, user friendly web interface. Super simple Android app to talk BT to the device. Prototype for the apps challenge will use ISM band 'bit-bang' interface to USB hardware to show proof of concept.

Website will take in login info, allow the user to set their zipcode. The scrapers on the site pull down condition data from weather underground. Location information about zipcode condition, and current location of each star are served up via JSON web API's. Phone app is then responsible for polling the site for current star locations and conditions for a particular user.

Hardware may or may not come together for the presentation ...
