Lets build a weather station which logs temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
And, lets make this quick. How quick? 20 minutes! I swear! I have the video to prove it!
We will use an ESP8266, the ESP Easy firmware, and ThingSpeak.
You will need:
| Component | Cost | Purchase Link |
|---|---|---|
| ESP8266 - model ESP-01 | $2.64 | ebay.com |
| Bosch BME280 i²c sensor | $4.87 | ebay.com |
| 0.96" OLED SSD1306 i²c display | $6.35 | ebay.com |
| 3v USB TTL PL2303HX cable | $1.34 | ebay.com adafruit.com |
| 3v 700 mA power supply | $1.95 | ebay.com |
| 2, 10k resistors | ||
| TOTAL | $17.15 |
Optionally, you can use some buttons to make resetting and firmware flashing mode easier to engage.
Cost wise I'm not including the breadboard, hookup wires, or 3v USB UART. Those should already be on hand if you are any sort of self respecting electronics person.
