## Article

Original : <http://apwizardry.com/?p=53> Tired of always opening up a web browser to look for COVID-19 data? I built a COVID-19 Dashboard using an Arduino [EtherDue](https://www.freetronics.com.au/products/etherdue-arduino-due-compatible-with-onboard-ethernet#.YCGHAi1h2jg) (Arduino Due and Ethernet combined into one board) and and [TFT LCD Shield](https://www.itead.cc/wiki/Arduino_3.2_TFT_LCD_Touch_Shield_V1). (Note that this particular TFT LCD shield is not available anymore, but the code can be easily modified to use any 320×240 LCD). The website [covidactnow.org](https://covidactnow.org/tools) has an API for downloading current COVID-19 data state-by-state (or county-by-county if you’re so inclined). You merely have to register to get a key, but it’s free to use. Using this API, I request a single state’s worth of data every 10 seconds, taking a little over 8 minutes to update the entire map.
