Weather station implemented using dev board

A project log for My ESP8266 development board

Working on another ESP8266 based project I'vedecided to build my own dev board, with capabilities that I'd like to have.

One of the reasons for this project to appear is that I'm using esp8266 for all kind of small projects all the time, but in the end I can't accept it as a mess of wires on the breadboard. Alternatively I can use perfboard but final look also lacks some refinement.


This board however fits into standard Raspberry Pi case, therefore making final product look quite close to "usable-on-daily-basis".

I took Weather station project by ThingPulse folks as example. I had ST7789 screen laying around, It is a bit smaller then the ILI9341 screen that project uses originally, but has the same resolution. It wasn't too hard to harness it to the board.

I forked the repo and added ST7789 screen support, changed screen orientation and did few more cosmetic modifications. End result looks like this

Looks good if you ask me.
