Housing for ILI9341 2.8" and Wemos D1 mini

thingiverse

This housing is specifically designed to accommodate a 2.8" ILI9341 display and a Wemos D1 mini. I also incorporated a temperature and humidity sensor, the DHT22, to meet my requirements. The design of this housing was influenced by the [2.4" & 2.8" TFT Desktop stand] (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2172068). To assemble the housing, you will need: - 8 x m2 8mm countersunk screws - 4 x m2 6mm lens head screws - 12 x m2 3mmx3.2mm press nuts I chose to use screws and press nuts because I wanted to utilize the (resistive) touch function of the display without risking it getting pressed into the housing over time. The press nuts ensure a tighter fit, allowing the housing to be opened and closed repeatedly without damaging the holes. The combination of an ILI9341 display and a Wemos D1 mini opens up numerous project possibilities. In my case, I utilize it as: - A smart switch (the orange one) with timer functionality for my motorized roof dome connected via MQTT to my [FHEM installation] (https://www.fhem.de/). - A weather station/monitor (the black one), which retrieves current weather and forecast data from [OpenWeatherMap] (https://openweathermap.org/). The date/time of the displayed clocks are updated through the internet. Both applications leverage the touch functionality of the ILI9341 display. Schematics for connecting the display to the Wemos will be included in the future.
