This is the most complex project i ever made!
It took like 3 months to make, but i think it is awesome.
You can see the live data from it here.
Cost: ≈40€ for the parts (not tools)
Components:
-3x ESP8266 D1 MINI
-3x HTU2X Sensor
-2x BMP280 Sensor
-1x 3.2" TFT Screen
-5x M4x8mm Screw, 1x M4 Nut
-2 AA battery holders
-6 Rechargable NiMH Batteries
Tools and Materials:
-Soldering Iron
-Solder and Flux
-Wire
-Rubber Seal (2mm diameter)
-CA Glue (Superglue)
-Hotglue gun and Glue Sticks
-3D Printer
-Filament (PLA or PETG)
STEP 1
Unpack all parts and check that they are all here.
Install Arduino IDE and all needed libraries.
Print all of the pieces.
Superglue the seal intno its place.
STEP 2
Decide which ESP is the master.
Upload "MACAdress.ino" to it and open the serial monitor.
Write down the mac adress that it read.
In both folders there is a “config.h” file.
Open it and customize your station.
Then upload to the ESP.
STEP 3
Connect everything
HTU2X:
VCC - 3V3
GND - GND
SCL - D1
SDA - D2
TFT:
VCC - VCC
GND - GND
LED - VCC
SDO - D6
SCK - D5
SDI - D7
DC - D3
RESET - D4
CS - D8
Battery pack:
Red - VCC
Black - GND
The BMP280 just connects to the HTU2X in series.
Some of them are double-connections.
STEP 4
Glue everything to its place.
Close it all up.
STEP 5
Plug your main unit in and connect to its wifi and configure wifi password and ssid.
STEP 6
Enjoy!
If you have problems:
If any of these cannot help you or you have any questions, contact me using makerworld messages.
If anyone wanted a station made and configured from me i could make a couple stations a month so message me using makerworld messages.
