In this video lesson we take you through the project of building an Arduino Barometric Pressure Weather Station. It builds on the last two lessons in this series. We measure and display instantaneous Barometric Pressure, normalized to Sea Level. Then in the lower portion on the OLED SSD1306 display, we show a graph of the barometric pressure over the last 24 hours.
When using the breadvolt, or any battery power supply on a breadboard project, do not turn the power supply on while the Raspberry Pi Pico is connected to USB, as you could generate voltage conflicts. It is an either or. If the USB is connected, the power supply should be OFF. Or if you are going to connect the USB, first turn off the power supply.
Below we include the code we develop in the above video. Make sure to set the ‘alt’ variable to your elevation at your location, in meters.
