Mission Description
- Context: You have the sensors from Grade 9’s weather station; now present the data in a nicer dashboard format. Build an LCD Weather Dashboard that not only shows current readings but also icons or multiple pages of info like a professional weather panel.
- Task: Use a larger or graphical LCD, or even a small TFT display, with your sensor set (temperature, humidity, pressure). Program a user-friendly display: for instance, line 1 shows “Temp: 24.5°C” with a little thermometer icon, line 2 shows “Hum: 55%” with a water droplet icon, and maybe “Pres: 1010 hPa”. If using a graphic screen, you can draw a simple trend graph of temperature over time or include a sun/cloud icon to suggest conditions. Implement button controls to switch screens if you have more data (like one screen for current conditions, another for min/max of the day, etc.).
- Expected Output: An advanced weather monitor. Running it, the LCD might display at a glance everything you’d see on a digital thermometer/hygrometer device. By pressing a button, it could show “Today High/Low” values or switch between metric/imperial units as extra features. The key outcome is a polished-looking display of sensor data, showing how to turn raw data into an informative dashboard – a skill used in many real-world systems (from home IoT displays to industrial control panels).
Student Goal
Use a larger or graphical LCD, or even a small TFT display, with your sensor set (temperature, humidity,
pressure). Program a user-friendly display: for instance, line 1 shows “Temp: 24.5°C” with a little thermometer
icon, line 2 shows “Hum: 55%” with a water droplet icon, and maybe “Pres: 1010 hPa”. If using a graphic screen,
you can draw a simple trend graph of temperature over time or include a sun/cloud icon to suggest conditions.
Implement button controls to switch screens if you have more data (like one screen
for current conditions, another for min/max of the day, etc.).
