ESP8266 Weather Station with 2.2" TFT Screen (WiFi)

thingiverse

This case is designed specifically for 2.2-inch TFT SPI screens that utilize the ILI9341 Driver Chip. Some of these displays also come equipped with touch-functionality. If you're working with a 2.4-inch TFT screen that features touch functionality, you may want to take a look at this alternative project: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3415262. To minimize light leakage through the plastic casing, I used some tape to mask off the areas where light was seeping in. Using non-translucent filament for this project yields significantly better results than translucent filament. Beyond that, the assembly process is relatively straightforward and uncomplicated. For those interested, the source code for this weather station can be downloaded from GitHub: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station-color. The underlying library used in this project is also available on GitHub: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station. The specific TFT screen I utilized in this project can be found here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smart-Electronics-2-2-Inch-240-320-Dots-SPI-TFT-LCD-Serial-Port-Module-Display-ILI9341/32607741715.html. It's worth noting that newer versions of this screen (released from January 10th, 2019 onwards) may experience issues running on a system without the touch screen present on the SPI bus. These problems can be easily avoided by commenting out the relevant code. If you encounter UI elements blinking, please refer to issue #97 on GitHub: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station-color/issues/97 for further assistance. <h3>If you decide to build this project and want to show your appreciation, I'd be more than happy to see a post under "Makes"!</h3>
