What it does
It measures tries to create a comfortable indoor environment by working around the light, humidity, and temperature. Also gives the user idea about the outdoor weather to prepare to go out.
what leaned
serial communication, wireless connection, ADC, interrupt
how to build the project
The project has two parts: the window control and information collector. The Arduino Uno collects indoor temperature and humidity by the sensor and uses a motor to control the window. The esp8266 collect online weather information and send it to Uno
Challenges
How to mimic the window blinder in the real world. The serial communication between esp8266 and atmega328p. Basically, we didn't expect to see the problem in the serial part as the UART function is finely declared almost the same as the datasheet. The problem appears on the ESP side. The RX and TX ports do not work without software serial configuration, and it took us a long time to just figure out the problem.
