Weather Micro Station for T-Display S3
A modular, high-performance weather display for the LILYGO T-Display S3 showing real-time OpenWeatherMap data with smooth 40 FPS animations, 18 weather icons, and scrolling ticker.
Overview
Weather Micro Station turns the LILYGO T-Display S3 into a polished desktop weather display. It fetches live conditions from the OpenWeatherMap API every 3 minutes and renders them with smooth 40 FPS animations — a noticeably fluid experience for a microcontroller project.
Features
The display shows temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed, visibility, and cloud coverage alongside one of 18 condition-specific weather icons. A scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen delivers real-time weather summaries with professional animated transitions. Brightness is adjustable via the onboard hardware buttons, and the device reconnects automatically after WiFi drops.
Build Details
The project is structured as a PlatformIO workspace with modular C++ source files and uses secure credential storage so WiFi and API keys are never hardcoded in the sketch. NTP synchronization keeps the internal clock accurate. The MIT-licensed codebase is straightforward to adapt for different locations or display layouts.
