Hello, My technology log for the past week is as follows. Enjoy the read. 🖥️ WHAT’S ON THE SCREEN? //SMART WEATHER & LIGHTING SYSTEM WITH PICO W! In my weekend project, I built a comprehensive weather and room monitoring station using a Raspberry Pi Pico W. While the system fetches real-time weather data via an API, it simultaneously measures indoor temperature and humidity using the DHT22 sensor. All data (date, time, indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity) is transmitted to a 2x16 LCD screen via the I2C interface every 5 seconds. The highlight of the project is the smart lamp integration: I…
