Explore building an IoT weather station with an ESP32 that measures temperature and humidity, uploads data online, and forecasts future weather phenomena.
Identify hardware requirements for the IoT weather station: ESP32 dev kit with Wi-Fi, DHT11 sensor for temperature and humidity, and ten kilo ohm resistor with jumper wires and breadboard.
Identify the software requirements for the IoT weather station, including Arduino and the Arduino IDE, ESP32 dev kit, ThingSpeak for data visualization, MATLAB, and Fritz for circuit design.
Design and wire a weather station circuit in fritzi using an ESP32, a sensor, and a ten kilo ohm resistor on a breadboard, then save and prepare to program.
Install Arduino IDE and DHT libraries, include them in code, define sensor constants, set serial at 9600, test the sensor, and read humidity and temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Validate humidity and temperature readings with an if statement, print the data and its average to the serial monitor, then upload ESP32 code.
Explore building an IoT data channel and live charts for sensor readings, then configure ESP32 Wi-Fi, include libraries, set SSID, password, channel ID, and API key to push data.
Configures wifi in station mode on the ESP32, selects clients and channel, and uploads sensor data using channel id and api key with field writes and error handling.
Build IoT weather stations with ESP32 by uploading data to Thingspeak, visualizing temperature trends in MATLAB, and analyzing and predicting future temperatures with templates and custom code.
Detrend the temperature data, compare it to the original, and reveal the trend clearly. Plot temperature and humidity trends over time with labeled axes and subplots for clarity.
Connect an ESP32 to a breadboarded sensor, power via USB, and stream temperature and humidity data to a Thingspeak channel over Wi-Fi for public view.
