Overview:

The ESP32-S3 TFT Feather is a tiny, personal weather device.

It provides inside weather via 2 onboard sensors, and it provides outside weather via the Internet.

It also contains a  3-axis movement sensor and compass.

 

Features:

 - Tc (temperature C), Hu% (humidity), and AQ (air quality) sensors

 - Outside weather monitors for 3 hours at a time to indicate increasing, decreasing for stable readings. Readings survive reboots by being written to NVS.

 - Slave your device to your phone's Hotspot so that the phone's cellular connection will provide WiFi data to the device.

 

Code: TW_v51a.ino, TW_v50_Compass_Test.ino

 

Setup:

Change the SSID and password starting on line 57 of the code.

 

Operation:

 - As can be seen above in Photos, we have the Splash page, System Diagnostics page, Tiny Weather page, and Compass & movement page

 - Any movement or slight tap on the display will trigger the movement sensor, restoring the blanked display
