Arduino ESP8266 Project
I’m working on a WiFi weather station. Fun stuff!
Slowly making progress on my Wifi weather station project. The temperature/humidity hardware is now connected wirelessly to my home network and can be read from any browser connected to our router… so at this time it’s purely local.
One of the challenges has been to send html code to a web browser client by using the C-language code that the wifi module understands. I’m fairly conversant with C-language and HTML (its been years), but have never combined the two. The screen in the photo required reading and interpreting the temperature/humidity sensor using C-language, then massaging that data into a form that a web browser could understand. Pheww!
The photo shows the sensor (DHT22), the wifi module (ESP8266), and the web browser screen. That’s the easy part. It’s the 250 lines of coding that makes it all work. Lots of work, but it keeps me off the streets!
I did get 18 holes of golf in this morning though!
