Windows IoT Core background app for checking the status of the Saint-Lambert seaway bike bridge. When the bridge is available, a green LED turns on. When it is not available, a red LED turns on. The status of the bridge comes from the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System's website (http://www.greatlakes-seaway.com) and is for informational purposes only.
Hardware:
- Raspberry Pi 2 or 3
- 1 green LED
- 1 red LED
- 2 560 Ohm resistors
Setup:
- Connect the shorter leg of the green LED to GPIO 3.
- Connect the longer leg of the green LED to a resistor and connect the other end of the resistor to a 3.3 V pin.
- Connect the shorter leg of the red LED to GPIO 6.
- Connect the longer leg of the red LED to a resistor and connect the other end of the resistor to a 3.3 V pin.
