Raspberry Pi Pico W LESSON 35: Remote Weather Station with RGB LED Temperature Indicator

This is the OLED display we will be using in future lessons. Please go ahead and order it so you will have it for next week's lesson:

You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will help me keep my gear updated, and help me keep this quality content coming:

In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.

In this video, I will show you a raspberry pi pico weather station project. IN the project, we download live data from the internet, and display the weather data on on OLED screen. Then, we display the temperature on an RGB LED by using the HSV color wheel. I show you how to build the circuit and then how to code it up in micropython. Then in the next lesson I will show you my implementation of the framework in code. Enjoy!

Watching from Mississippi, have the covid but not so bad I can’t enjoy this. Thanks Paul!

Gee I had no idea where this project was headed? Now I am glad to learn about this colorful weather station. 😎 Thank you.

Thanks for another most-excellent lesson! I did the assignment using a temperature range of -20 to 120 and hue range of 30 to 360. The hue range in Paul's version is better, because on a 60 degree day the color was shades of purple on my version.

Thanks for another great tutorial Paul- alot to take in over the past few lessons. Hope your channel has not been affected by the youtube " Invalid Traffic Bug " that I see is becoming an issue. Apparently adblockers are creating havoc with the algorithm ..Will continue to support your channel as it is a huge resource !!

Just a demo video here - no code sharing since I'm not sure where Paul might take us after dropping a couple of teasers that servos might be important to future episodes.

i noticed that you sure do like your iced coffee😅, also great job on your videos. Very informative. Although at times a bit drawn out, but completely understandable. Due to the fact that there are many beginners who may not be as tech savvy or have forgotten or never learned some of the basic stuff we all take for granted.
( like having to teach my 93 year old grandmother how to use her smart phone. Which is a PITA and she finally starts to get it. 😮‍💨 But after a couple weeks she doesn't use it. Its like I have to teach her all over again 🥺. ) but its not like if I had to teach programming . As the most I had to teach her is how to program her thermostat. Which I just gave up on and just got her a google home and smart thermostat so she can just tell it what to do.)

Which Im sure sometime in the near future most people wont have to learn how to program. Because all they will have to do is tell it what they want it to do, and it will write and execute the commands for you.
