I would like to create a dashboard tile that tells me if today is a day that the US flag should be flown at half mast. Various US flag merchants provide widgets that they say you can insert into your website.
There is one on this page: https://flagdom.com/half-mast-widget
Any one got the skills, if even possible from the widget code, to create such a tile? Thinking it might just make a call each day through the widget to find out if today is half or not?
Separately anyone have any working ways to automatically raise and lower a flag on a standard flag pole? I would guess you need some sort of engine/motor linked to the halyard. I have electricity available to me @ the flagpole. Seems like a hobby project for sure. Any ideas?
