Build a weather station with a web dashboard – HackSpace Magazine Issue 57 @HackSpaceMag @Raspberry_Pi
While it’s possible to build a DIY Raspberry Pi weather station from separate components and sensors, Pimoroni’s Weather HAT makes the process far simpler and easier. As well as on-board BME280 (temperature, pressure, humidity) and LTR‑559 (light) sensors, the HAT features a Nuvoton microcontroller with a 12-bit ADC to read analogue signals reliably from external weather sensors connected via standard RJ11 ports. It even has a mini color LCD screen to display readings.
Programming is via Python code.
While there are numerous options for logging and charting your data locally or online,
the easiest way is to use the Adafruit IO code example to set up a web dashboard that you can view from any device.
Check out the project in HackSpace Magazine Issue 58 pp. 68-71 and find the code on GitHub.

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.
