BME 280 – Node MCU Weather Station

BME 280 – Node MCU Weather Station

Scenario : You want to design a LAN based weather station which can be accessed from LAN.

Items Needed :

ESP-12E – NODE MCU Board

BME 280 – Sensor

Pin Configuration

Pin Number D2 ESP — > SDA Pin BMP/BME 280

Pin Number D1 ESP — > SCL Pin BMP/BME 280

Pin Number 3V3 ESP — > VIN Pin BMP/BME 280

Pin Number GND ESP — > GND Pin BMP/BME 280

Ste1p : install NodeMCU board Manager to Arduino

Add the Adafruit BusIO library

Once the above steps finished paste below code and upload to nodemcu

Make sure to edit two lines and replace your wifi SSID and Password

From Serial Monitor find out the IP Address

Once you have IP address, open the IP from any browser.
