Raspberry Pi, 1.8″ TFT, RF Receiver and Temperature Sensor #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
We learned about this great Raspberry Pi, 1.8″ TFT, RF Receiver and Temperature Sensor
from Mark Williams in the Adafruit Forums. He used a bunch of great Adafruit Gear, notably:
Below is some detail regarding the latest project I have been working on. Which is near completion.
I plan to wire it up permanently, place within a case and wall mount it.
Some of the images don’t come up too great in the video, I have included the actual images used [at my site here].
I created a simple one line bash script that polls for the temperature every 5 mins.
The main python program uses pygame to write to the TFT via a framebuffer and Matplotlib is used to create the Graphs.
The display can be changed by either the button on the breadboard or via the remote FOB.
What is being displayed:
Current Time.
Last recorded temperature.
Rotate between time and temperature.
Graph of recorded temperature for the last 12 hours.
Graph of recorded temperature for the last 24 hours.
Graph of recorded temperature for the last 7 days.
To prevent the SD card filling up with data, when started, the user will be prompted to delete data older then 7 days.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
