ESP32-Weather-Station

https://github.com/Bodmer/OpenWeather/tree/master/examples/TFT_eSPI_OpenWeather, but fixed to work on PlatformIO!

This branch contains the the original TFT_eSPI_OpenWeather example by Bodmer, only modified to just compile and upload on PlatformIO.

Go to the modifications branch to see my changes!

Hardware

Parts

You need:

• ESP32
• 320x240 TFT (I used this one by Adafruit)
• Some way to wire it all together, probably a breadboard and wires

Assemble

• ESP32 ground to TFT ground
• ESP32 USB 5v to TFT VIN
• ESP32 18 (VSPI CLK) to TFT CLK
• ESP32 19 (VSPI MISO) to TFT MISO (optional)
• ESP32 23 (VSPI MOSI) to TFT MOSI
• ESP32 5 (VSPI default CS) to TFT CS**
• ESP32 17 to TFT D/C**

** These can be changed in src/User_Setup.h file for TFT_eSPI

Software

1. Clone this repo somewhere.
2. Open in your preferred IDE. (for example, VS Code with PlatformIO plugin)
3. Rename src/All_Settings template.h to src/All_Settings.h and change your settings.
4. Run PlatformIO: Project Tasks - <board name> - General - Build. (So the libraries are downloaded)
5. Copy the contents of src/User_Setup.h to .pio\libdeps\<your board name>\TFT_eSPI\User_Setup.h.
6. Change upload_port and monitor_port in platformio.ini if needed. (much more reliable then relying on auto-detect)
7. Run PlatformIO: Project Tasks - <board name> - General - Upload.
8. Run PlatformIO: Project Tasks - <board name> - Platform - Build Filesystem Image.
9. Run PlatformIO: Project Tasks - <board name> - Platform - Upload Filesystem Image.
10. Reset board if needed.
