I have decided to work on a small or i should say basic weather display for in my home. It will use a Arduino Zero Clone (AtomZero), 7in LCD, MicroSD for images, Wifi using the ESP8266, some internal temp sensor and probably a 12v adapter to supply 3.3v @ 3A or something.<\/p>\n
Now this might not seem basic but i will try my best to make code available and understandable. I usually dont comment anything but ill try to this time.<\/p>\n
The ESP8266 will be using NodeMCU to help take the load off the AtomZero. NodeMCU is new and a mystery to me so i will be studying this:\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/nfriedly\/nodemcu-weather-station<\/p>\n
He seems to have a weather station done completely on the ESP8266 which is quite cool. But the LCD i want to use requires SPI (MOSI, MISO, CS, SCK, INT, SCL, SDA, CS2(SD)) Thats 8 IO already, not even sure if i missed any \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The LCD is a 7 inch capacitive touch (5 finger max) and will have a simple GUI to set things like Wifi user\/pass, Location , update info etc… When on it will take about 800mA to 1.2A which is the main reason i dont plan on using batteries, even though i will have the screen timeout i still would like to not have to worry about batteries. I might make it have a small 800mAH battery just to be able to move round the house without having it turn off.<\/p>\n
