Lesson 2 Weather Station - levizzzle/CS490 GitHub Wiki
Lesson 2: involves using a simple program to simulate a home weather station. This is done by reading values from a temperature sensor which provides a "humidity" reading and a "temperature" reading in Celsius. The project also included connecting the ESP-01 wifi adapter so that you can write your readings online, however there appears to be a disconnect in the configuration making it difficult to setup through standard methods.
Components used:
- Arduino Uno R3
- Breadboard
- DHT11 Temperature Sensor
- QAPASS 16x2 LCD Screen

Things Learned
Lesson 2 was beneficial for learning how to integrate sensors and how to read data into the serial monitor. An added benefit was utilizing the LCD monitor to experience how to use analog input pins and display text as well as values. I learned a good deal attempting to troubleshoot the ESP-01 wifi setup however was not successful in getting it to work.
