Summary
The Weather Data Collection System (WDC) is an interactive exhibit that allows students to learn about weather monitoring and control systems. A temperature sensor collects data and sends it to a PIC microcontroller via I2C. If the temperature exceeds a predefined threshold, a motor activates, with its status communicated back to the PIC via I2C. Both temperature readings and motor status are displayed on an OLED screen, which is connected to the ESP32 via SPI communication. The ESP32 also facilitates MQTT communication, publishing and subscribing to messages for real-time data exchange. This system offers hands-on learning about IoT and automation.
