This looks GREAT! Excellent video, ty! I have a unique system need for a super low-power self-reading weather station in a remotely placed camera housing, it cannot have any external communication & must be fully self sufficient. I love the ePaper for low power draw, I need the computer to read an EXTERNAL (outside the camera housing via wires) thermometer & hygrometer readings (every 10-20 seconds?) to calculate the very accurate dew point. I then need the computer to read a separate INTERNAL (Inside the camera housing) thermometer, and then I need the computer to control a relay that sends 3A-4A 12V to my internal heat strips to turn them ON & OFF so that my glass window remains "5 degrees" above the current dew point. I need to be able to adjust the "Degrees above Dew point" to fine tune the system for various conditions & locations. I'd also love to be able to control the time of day or night that the system is allowed to heat my window. I am trying to prolong the life of my battery as long as possible as I will not be able to even go check on the camera for days or weeks at a time. I'd like to eventually extend this to months. Any advice? tyvm
If I could connect this to a sim-card enabled weather station I place at my favourite flying spot, this would save me many waster journeys (not enough wind, wrong direction of wind etc)! Are you aware of any such projects?
Hello Pawel, I am currently testing the board. I still have a problem: According to the program, the wakeup time is set to 07:00 (int WakeupHour = 8; // Wakeup after 07:00 to save battery power). However, the board only switches from 11:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. at 8:00 a.m. No Wakeup at 07:00 .Do I have to change something else in the settings? Many greetings
A super interesting project after I have seen your video I had directly order the board. First I installed version 2.5 and it runs without any problems then I wanted to upgrade to your version. But after the message from arduino ide: leaving hard resetting via RTS pin. Nothing happens. Do you have any idear where the problem is?
Hello Pavel, I also have to notice that sometimes the board only wakes up from the hourly sleep phase after a reset. The time display is currently at 6:00 p.m., although it is already 8:49 p.m. Apparently this hourly rhythm is not reliable. CanI change something there? Greetings Ulli
Hello PS After Hour, you're right. It really is a great board. I now have it in a case and it's on my desk. I configured it to my city "Berlin, Germany". But my problem is that there is daylight saving time in Europe. I.e. the displayed time is currently one hour behind. In the winter she would walk properly again. My question: Where can I put the time forward by 1 hour? Thank you for your recommendation. I look forward to your early reply.
Interesting, I have it running 120km from you in Stettin, Poland and it switches times perfectly. Are you sure you sent correct time zone ? I have this const char* Timezone = "GMT0BST,M3.5.0/01,M10.5.0/02";
@@PSAfterHours Hello Pawel, this setting for the time zone did not fit. I have now but via the link in the lib owm_credentials.h found the right setting: CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 It works great now. Many greetings

Yeah, déja vu. I bought this one when Pavel uploaded the first video and it has worked flawlessly as a weather station since. Battery life is around 2 months with a 2Ah cell.
ugh another arduino, you guys need to make the leap an move off arduino. the ide AWWFULLL. much less than having to build and export... I know you feel safe, but if you just make the jump to something like micropython you will do yourself and the makerspace so much powerful.

Love E Paper !
That's a really nice interface layout 👍
Awesome, I have been looking for something like this! Hopefully my meager skills will be able to accomplish this task.
You can do it!
Really a nice project. And I think, I need to consider this kind of boards.

Please get another hobby. Try legos or a puzzle.
Fantastyczny review , pozdrawiam !
Dzięki
I'd love to make an e-reader this size, though with a smaller battery

are you using?

Maybe they changed something in the code. Mine wakes up and refreshes no problem all the time
This is amazing!!
Yes, this a pretty cool thjing indeed
You have the wrong working firmware. Your forecast shows the wrong temperatures, the same digits are in all hours.
does anybody know why this is so much more expensive now? nearly 50 euro
I have problems to connect to openweathermap with connection failed. Any solutions? Nice video thank you!
Same issue here did you found a solution?

Good stuff.
Tried to use websockets, then parse json, then put it on e-ink display - ESP32 can't handle it unfortunately.
Still good for simple tasks
What issues have you ran into? ESP32 is totally capable of doing so :)

What is the sleep power consumption of this board? I need it to last as long as possible on a battery. I hope just a few micro amps

Problem solved. Deleted this line from the library. Compilation runs without errors.
anybody tried to connect it to the sensors rather than to weatherground?
Hi, is it possible to adapt code to different api than OMW? Is is not very accurate for me.
It's open source, so of course it is technically possible. Still, requires coding
@@PSAfterHours Ok, thanks. And does this board charge 18650 battery when connected to USB?
Yes, yes it does
Flashback!
But i love this one, i bough one for about 20€ months ago

yeap. Effect of video migration between channels

No it's not awful. IDE is abysmal but the whole system is just fine
