Weather station with the BMP280 temperature/humidity/pressure sensor and GP2Y10 for VERY basic air quality (it's basically only useful for air quality over time) ran off an ESP8266 (it's powerful enough for this) "Hardware" project that's more like a software project with the amount of coding stuff there is 😭️ but there is still hardware I have to make
Soldered the sensor module, battery charging module, and boost converter together, and cut the hole for the fan and hot glued it in. I might have to rethink about the temperature sensor since shoving it inside the box means it’ll measure the air pressure wrong, since the box is held at positive pressure relative to the pressure outside due to the fan
So I painstakingly cut out some holes with a cutter (that isnt in the timelapse because it took genuinely way too long for two holes) and just connected the screen and switch. Idea is that switching it to the left will turn the screen on with just the default displays, temp, humidity, pressure, switching it to the middle will turn off the display, and switching it to the right will show diagnostics like ip address and uptime. I’m still waiting on the battery IC and temperature sensors to arrive though.
