Make a compact weather display for a hallway or desk.

CAIBI’s proposed addition: Add a location-setting screen, update time and useful offline behaviour.

Start with the original

Tutorial foundation

Tutorial located; parts, current dependencies and physical results have not been tested by CAIBI.

See the original source for its photos and demonstrations. We have not copied imagery without confirmed reuse rights. A source prototype is not a photo of this proposed CAIBI build.

Plan the next step
I want to develop this idea: Touchscreen weather station. Intended outcome: Make a compact weather display for a hallway or desk. The source is https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-cyd-lvgl-weather-station/. CAIBI suggests: Add a location-setting screen, update time and useful offline behaviour. First inspect the source I supply. Separate what it already does from proposed additions. Ask for my actual board, parts, skill level and missing files. Produce a small staged plan with one bench test per stage. Do not invent pin assignments, dimensions or completed test results.

Design a measured enclosure
Help me design a practical enclosure for Touchscreen weather station. First ask for measured component dimensions, mounting holes, connectors, cable clearance, ventilation and operating conditions. Suggest a printable or off-the-shelf approach. Begin with a fit-test piece before a complete case. Label assumptions and do not invent an enclosure rating.

Check and document the result
Create a test log for Touchscreen weather station. Intended outcome: Make a compact weather display for a hallway or desk. Separate expected behaviour from observed results. Include power restart, disconnected inputs, communication failure and the actual physical use. Ask me to provide results, firmware versions, changes, photos and unresolved problems. Never mark a test passed without my evidence.
