Personal Project

Customized weather center & tide clock

February 2022

Project Overview

Using an Arduino Mega and ESP8266 WiFi module, this project scrapes weather and tide data from online to display on three custom gauges. The project includes Inside and outside temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, along with tide data (current water height, next predicted high and low, and direction), and sun rise/set information.

​

The station also has an automatic sleep mode at night, capacitive hinges for cycling through display banks, and (of course) some awesome LED strips!
