In this guide, you’ll learn how to turn your ESP32 and a TFT display into a weather station that displays weather description, temperature, humidity, and date. We’ll use the LVGL (Light Versatile Graphics Library) and the Open-Meteo API to get the weather data. The ESP32 board will be programmed using Arduino IDE.<\/p>\n\n\n

Project Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll display the current weather description, temperature, humidity, and date on a 2.8-inch ILI9341 TFT LCD Touchscreen (240×320). The weather description will also be identified with an image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get an accurate weather description for your location, we\u2019ll use the free Open-Meteo<\/a> API. To get the data from the API, the ESP32 needs to connect to the internet, so you need to have a router in your surroundings so that the ESP32 can connect to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
