MeteoClock - The clock with weather information

Hi guys, today I bring you a new project that took me a while to reach where I'm but the result was worth it. It is not 100% finished given that I'm still reviewing and doing minor upgrades to the code but right now it's stable and ready to use.  As you can read in the title I called it MeteoClock and as his name suggests it is a clock with weather information. Bellow, you can see a preview of my project:

As you can see in the video the screen displays several fields of information about the date, hour and weather. 

MeteoClock screen in sections

The screen is split into four pieces and for simplifying the explanation I will use the image on the left with the sections already drawn by me. On the top, the first section as it's possible to see has the current date and day of the week. The second section has the current hour and minute in 24-hour format. The third section displays the current weather in Celsius as the maximum and minimum temperature for the current day. It also has the weather status as a representative icon of it. The fourth and last one has the weather forecast for the next 2 days and it displays the maximum and minimum temperature and a representative icon for weather status in that day.

MeteoClock uses an NTP server in order to keep date always updated and take into consideration the daylight savings time. It also consumes 2 web services to retrieve data that is essential to his fully functional behavior. One of the web services is the Wunderground, the weather service, that is used to get the current weather information and the forecast for the next 2 days. The second web service is used to retrieve the sunrise and sunset time in the given coordinates so the interface will be able to keep up with sun position.

The case used in this project was created and design by me and is also available on the repository with the code of this project.

Source Code

Materials Used:

- 1 x ESP8266

- 1 x LCD TFT ILI9341 2.2"
- 1 x Switch

Schematics:

MeteoClock schematics

Now, you just need to assemble everything as you see on the schematics and print the case from the .stl files and put it all together.


Keep in mind that futures code releases will be done to my repository and this publication may not be updated so always check my repository and read the README file.
