ESP32 - Solar Powered Weather Station w/ long range communication
Welcome to the repository for the ESP32 Solar Weather Station. This DIY weather monitoring project encompasses a diverse range of skills, from hardware design and coding to power optimization and 3D modeling. The project was driven by the goal of creating a sustainable, long-range weather station capable of collecting and transmitting data in real-time.
Power efficiency is crucial, especially in periods without sunlight. Voltage dividers monitor solar panel and battery voltages, enabling the ESP32 to enter a deep-sleep mode when the battery is low. A sensor power switch selectively activates sensors, minimizing power consumption. Explore the power management section in the code for detailed insights.
Arduino IDE ESP32 board support
Clone the repository to your local machine. Open the Arduino IDE, load the project files, and upload the code to your ESP32.
The upcoming iteration will focus on refining the code for enhanced efficiency. Future plans also include optimizing the enclosure and PCB layout for a more compact design. For detailed insights into the PCB and project design, refer to the project listing associated with this project below.
