Once the terminal is connected, press any key to start streaming weather

data. You should now see weather data printing out!

From here, the sky is the limit! You can utilize the Photon’s Internet

connectivity to post your data to all kinds of data collection services. You

can also connect any combination of optional peripherals to the Weather

Shield to create a custom weather station suited to your needs.
