TINKER PIEDESIGN IN INDIA

Phone weather station

Temperature, humidity and light from the board, live on your phone.

IoTWi-Fidashboard

Open in TinkerPie Studio

What you need

Wiring

Put your Wi-Fi name and password in the first block. Then open the address shown in the console on a phone on the same Wi-Fi.

Step by step

  1. Open Phone weather station in TinkerPie Studio. It opens as blocks.
  2. Wire it: Put your Wi-Fi name and password in the first block. Then open the address shown in the console on a phone on the same Wi-Fi.
  3. Press Run to try it in the simulator. Use the sliders and buttons under the board picture to test it.
  4. Type your Wi-Fi name and password into the connect to Wi-Fi block.
  5. Connect TinkerPie with a USB-C cable in Chrome or Edge, press Connect, then Download. Or, with Studio started from the TinkerPie launcher on your computer, open the Arduino C++ tab and press Build & Flash.
  6. Change something: a colour, a number, a sound. Then run it again.

The code

This is the program the blocks make. The same program runs in the simulator and on the board.

JavaScript
basic.forever(function () {
  dashboard.show('Temperature °C', Math.round(input.temperature()));
  dashboard.show('Humidity %', Math.round(input.humidity()));
  dashboard.show('Light lux', Math.round(input.lightLevel()));
  basic.pause(2000);
});

basic.showIcon(IconNames.Square, Colors.Blue);
wifi.connect('my-wifi', 'my-password');
basic.showIcon(IconNames.Yes, Colors.Green);
Arduino C++ (TinkerPie library)
// Phone weather station
// Arduino C++ made by TinkerPie Studio from the blocks. Board: TinkerPie V1 (ESP32-S3).
// Arduino IDE: install the TinkerPie library (Studio menu > Arduino library), then Tools > Board > ESP32S3 Dev Module,
// USB CDC On Boot: Enabled, Flash Size: 16MB, Partition Scheme: 16M Flash (3MB APP/9.9MB FATFS), PSRAM: OPI PSRAM.
#include <TinkerPie.h>
using namespace tinkerpie;

void setup() {
  tinkerpie::begin();
  basic::forever([]() {
    dashboard::show("Temperature °C", round(input::temperature()));
    dashboard::show("Humidity %", round(input::humidity()));
    dashboard::show("Light lux", round(input::lightLevel()));
    basic::pause(2000);
  });

  basic::showIcon(IconNames::Square, Colors::Blue);
  wifi::connect("my-wifi", "my-password");
  basic::showIcon(IconNames::Yes, Colors::Green);
}

void loop() {
  tinkerpie::loop();   // runs the forever blocks and handles events
}
