It's alive!

My DIY outdoor weather sensor based on #esp32, #solar panel, #tp4056 battery charger with #lipo battery, #sht30 as the temperature+humidity sensor, #bh1750 as the light intensity sensor, and a voltage divider to monitor the battery voltage. All values are being collected by #esphome running on the esp32 and sent to my #homeassistant running on a raspberry pi.

Now to find a reasonable case for this and throw it somewhere in the garden within the reach of wifi...

My #ESP32 + #SHT30 sensor combo did not work together. After a lot of time debugging, it turns out it was *my* shoddy soldering - everything works on the breadboard, but some of the pin headers don't work.

At least I got to play around with my old tinkering tools, like #Buspirate and #DSO138. But now I need to figure out how to unsolder those pin headers...
