Title: Raspberry Pi: Turn the popular single-board computer into a compact weather station
Post by: Redaktion on April 24, 2020, 22:27:04
Based around a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a community project has transformed the popular single-board computer into a compact weather station. Comparatively easy and inexpensive to create, the system can be wall-mounted and features a 2.8-inch touchscreen display.

It's a waste of RaspberryPi. Arduino is enough, esp8266, esp32 also. I'm huge fan of RaspberryPi, but this project is simply a waste od Pi power.

It is not technically a weather station as it doesn't contain any instruments for measuring atmospheric conditions. It only displays a weather info from a weather provider.
A bit of an overkill for a rpi, but should a fun project to do nevertheless.

I meant that rpi is a bit of a overkill for the project, not the other way around, haha.
