Mission Description
- Context: Knowing accurate local weather helps in planning the day. Build a Personal Weather Station that measures temperature, humidity, and air pressure, displaying them on an LCD screen like a mini weather dashboard.
- Task: Use a multi-sensor module (such as a BME280 or separate sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure) connected to your microcontroller. Set up a simple LCD display (16x2 or similar) or an OLED screen. Program the device to read all three values periodically and show them in a clear format on the screen. Update the readings every few seconds. You might also include a forecast indicator based on pressure trends (e.g., an arrow up/down or a brief text like “Likely Rain” if pressure drops).
- Expected Output: A compact weather info hub. When turned on, the LCD immediately shows the current temperature, humidity, and pressure in real time. Blowing warm air onto the sensor might raise the temperature/humidity and you’d see the numbers change on the screen within a refresh cycle. This mirrors professional weather stations, giving insight into environmental science and how meteorological devices work – all in a student-made project that can be used for daily reference.
Student Goal
Use a multi-sensor module (such as a BME280 or separate sensors for temperature, humidity,
pressure) connected to your microcontroller. Set up a simple LCD display (16x2 or similar) or an OLED screen.
Program the device to read all three values periodically and show them in a clear format on the
screen . Update the readings every
few seconds. You might also include a forecast indicator based on pressure trends (e.g., an arrow up/down or a
brief text like “Likely Rain” if pressure drops).
