ESP8266 Weather Station with 2.4" TFT Screen (WiFi)

thingiverse

This case is designed specifically for a 2.4-inch TFT screen with touch panel functionality. Its design closely mirrors my previous work featuring a smaller 2.2-inch screen: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2832880 The user 94Z28 has published a remix of this project that can accommodate a larger Node MCU board: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3887862 The ILI9341 Driver Chip controls the screen, while the XPT2046 IC handles touch screen input All you need to do is solder the wires connecting an ESP8266 to the screen's PCB and upload the program You can download the Weather Station source code from GitHub here: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station-color The underlying library is available at this link: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station By default, the language is set to English but can be easily changed by modifying the code in setup.h I purchased this screen from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-4-240x320-SPI-TFT-LCD-Serial-Port-Module-5V-3-3V-PCB-Adapter-Micro/32871767717.html Common issues users have encountered include UI elements blinking, which can be resolved by referring to this issue on GitHub: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station-color/issues/97 If the ESP8266 crashes occasionally, causing a white screen, adding capacitors to the power rail(s) may help resolve the problem The more infill used and less translucent filament employed will result in a better final product due to reduced light leakage through plastic Since I wanted to use white PLA filament and liked the appearance of my previous print, I decided to apply black tape on the lower half to conceal any leaking light Note that I have updated the STL files since printing mine, resulting in less wasted space inside If you build this project and would like to show your appreciation, posting a comment under "Makes" would be greatly appreciated
