Introduction
LinkSprite weather station is one kind of LinkSprite IoT kit which is powered by ESP8266 WiFi SoC. This kit can automatically collect environmental data including temperature, humidity and pressure, and display them on the local LCD. At the same time, it would upload these data periodically to LinkSprite IoT cloud server. User can check them on the website or using APP. This also is an open source product and you can download the hardware and software from the website.
Features
- LinkNode D1
- Temperature & humidity sensor
- Pressure sensor
- RTC module
- 16x2 SerLCD
- Solar powered
- Automatically sync data to LinkSpriteIO
Tutorial
1. Hardware assembling
- There are 6 acrylic panels to build a case for weather station
- Mount the solar panel onto the D panel, connect solar panel and battery to power management module
- Use screws to mount the LinkNode D1 and T&M sensor module onto the B panel
- Use Blue-tack to paste the pressure sensor module and RTC module on B panel
- Mount the SerLCD on the A panel
- Mount the button module on the E or F panel
- According to the following connection diagram to connect the LinkNode D1 and other peripherals
2. Access to LinkSpriteIO
a. Register to or sign in LinkSpite.io
- - Go to My devices --> Create DIY device
- Open the new created Device and get Device ID
- Go to My profile to get your own API key
3. Software programming
a. Install Arduino IDE
- Make sure you have installed Arduino IDE with ESP8266 Arduino core, details you can check here
b. Prepare the libraries
- Download the Arduino project and related libraries from github
- Unzip the WeatherStationLibraries.zip and move the files to the Arduino/libraries which is located in your account directory
- Open Arduino IDE and go to Sketch --> Include Library --> Manage Libraries
- Search the wifimanager and install it
c. Update and your program
- Using Arduino IDE to open the WeatherStation Arduino project
- Update Arduino project with your own deviceID and apikey
