Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller review, plus tutorial connecting the board to a BME280 sensor module to create a wireless weather station that transmits temperature, pressure and humidity readings to a web browser.
On this web page you can find the wiring diagram and a link to the final…
Ebay: Raspberry Pi Pico W USD27.49+USD12.83 H&S. Where did you get it for $6? Can you put the link. Thank you very much!
Thanks very much Chris! I am going to do as Sprocket N and get the grandkids going on this project. Very clear and fun! Thanks for your time making these. Best regards, Robert
👍👍
Fantastic project Chris! Thx so much🙏😃
Really cool. Man do those libraries cut down on the code. But now you need an anemometer and a direction arrow. 😁👍
Amazing Chris. Can’t wait for the pico w to be on sale here in Australia.
A new "Low Tech" demonstration… of very high level, as you are used to it! Hats off to you and thank you!
Thank you for this lucid set of instructions. It has motivated me enough to try it out.
Isn't it easier to just check the weather online or open the window?
Hi, Can the outside Pico talk over WIFI to another Pico inside that has a display attached that can display the outside readings.
Excellent, as aways.
Awesome video , ideas, tutorial !
Hello, Chris.
It is always nice to find a new EC drop.
This video reminds me of the channel update video. Its going to be hard to cater to "everyones" tastes, simply because of the amount of various topics you cover. I for one enjoy these "project" videos, and so far I have not found a "sub-topic" or "project application" that does not have a bearing on my ability to use said projects in a practical way, filling a real world nead.
We've come a long way since Morse Code was cutting edge.
The question remains how to protect the sensor from dust or weather without affecting environmental data readings.
could you show us how to expand on this concept please? Like data logging the output of the pico and displaying the results as a graph on the web page? temp humidity and pressure are all well and good, but the trends are what help figure out whats likely to happen later in the day etc.
It feels like you've started to invest less in video making process, Chris. Sad. Your video on rpi plant watering contained timelapses, construction ideas, it was more wholesome. Maybe, like many youtubers, you experience a burnout?
Very interesting Chris. An excellent project executed flawlessly. I don't know how you come up with differing ideas every week, but i am glad you do. Thanks for sharing have a peaceful week.
Awesome video! I'm a noobie at all of this, even though, I would like to do it by myself, but I have one problem. I want to place the Raspberry Pi Pico next to a field far away from home. Therefore, the wifi is not reachable from there. I was wondering about adding some radio frequency component (LORA) to try to reach the wifi. But I'm not sure if it's the best solution and how it works. Many thanks in advance ^^
When did you film this Chris ??? We haven’t seen 20*c for weeks. 😊
Very disappointed. I made this, and it hasn't started raining yet.
Hello Chris
Which power bank would you recommend for this project. Thank you
As you can also download the weather information, it would be cool in a nerdy geeky way to display the sensor information and the delta with the "official" numbers.
I must admit I was quite concerned that you'd gone outside without a computer…
Just curious – the Pico W has a temperature sensor onboard, I presume it's just temperature but would this be a useful device do you think? Thinking mainly for temperature monitoring of a cabinet I have some servers in.
Thank you for the super informative video! This channel always has great content to watch. Cheers! Thanks again for the great computing content!!
As usual. One of the best videos. I must say " Nobody can explain things like you"… Thank you for such an amazing tutorial.
Very nice, I've been meaning to put together a weather station. Could you plug multiple BME280 sensors into the Pico? Indoor and outdoor temperatures 🙂
Hopefully things are starting to cool down where you are.
Good video, added to my winter project list, and give it an outdoor winter test in my screened in porch.
Thanks for another great video! I’d love to see projects like these fleshed out to include relay controlled mains voltage home automation.

I really want to make one of these but having finding a pico w
Can the pressure sensor be used to control a vacuum tube?
What about adding an air quality sensor to it?
So simple yet sophisticated, thanks Chris 👍
