ESP32-C3 Temperature Node

Project Description

This project involves an energy-efficient environmental monitoring system using the ESP32-C3 microcontroller. The system integrates a BME280 sensor to measure air temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure in real-time. The ESP32-C3, with its built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, enables wireless data transmission to a cloud platform or local server for remote monitoring and data logging.

The project aims to provide a scalable solution for indoor air quality monitoring, weather stations, or smart agriculture applications. It includes features such as:

• Sensor Integration: Using I2C or SPI interface to connect the BME280 sensor to the ESP32-C3.
• Data Acquisition: Periodic sampling of environmental parameters.
• Wireless Communication: Sending data via Wi-Fi to MQTT brocker.
• Power Efficiency: Utilizing deep sleep modes of ESP32-C3 to conserve energy.
• User Interface: Optional OLED display or web dashboard for real-time data visualization.

Key Components:

• ESP32-C3 microcontroller
• BME280 sensor (or BMP280)
• OLED display (optional)
• Power supply (battery or USB)
• Enclosure box

Potential Extensions:

• Add data logging to an SD card
• Integrate with home automation systems
• Use machine learning for predictive analytics (e.g., weather forecasting)
