Weather Buddy is a small desktop display that makes checking the weather as easy as glancing
across the room. It connects to WiFi and pulls current outdoor conditions from a weather API,
while an onboard sensor measures the indoor temperature.
An ESP32 brings everything together and displays both readings on a small TFT screen. The
software is written in ESP-IDF, and the project is still being developed as I refine the display
and turn the electronics into a finished desk companion.
The photos below document the build as the project develops, from the first breadboard test
to the finished device in its 3D-printed case.
The first breadboard test, with every component connected and working together. This setup let me test the display, indoor temperature sensor, WiFi connection, and weather API before moving the project onto a permanent PCB.
PCB assembly and final enclosure photos are coming as the build progresses.
