Animated Weather Station Display Kit with Arduino Uno + DHT22
Build an Animated Weather Station Display with Arduino Uno, DHT22, and BMP280
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform real-time temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure into animated weather icons on a vivid 1.8-inch TFT screen. This kit bundles an Arduino Uno with a DHT22 and BMP280 sensor, so you can code a live display that switches between sun, cloud, and rain animations based on your room’s environment. Perfect for students building a striking mini-project for school, college, or hackathons.
What You'll Build
A standalone desktop weather station that reads local conditions and renders animated weather icons — a glowing sun with rays when it's warm and dry, drifting clouds for moderate humidity, and falling rain droplets when pressure drops and humidity rises. The final unit is powered by a 9V battery, making it a self-contained showcase of sensor-to-display data pipelines.
What You'll Learn
- Reading digital sensor data from DHT22 and BMP280 over I2C and one-wire protocols
- Driving a 1.8-inch TFT ST7735 display to show custom animated sprites
- Mapping real-world sensor values to visual weather states using decision logic
- Structuring Arduino code for reactive, real-time display updates

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is designed for CBSE Class 11–12 students taking up electronics or IoT mini-projects, first-year B.Tech ECE/EEE students who need a sensor-display integration assignment, and participants in Smart India Hackathon or ATL Tinkering Lab challenges who want a quick, reliable weather display module. Even hobbyists from IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS campuses will find it a rewarding weekend build.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Simply scan the QR code on the box to open the AI companion, which walks you through wiring, code troubleshooting, and animation logic step by step. If you prefer, message us on WhatsApp for human support.
Can I modify the weather icons or add more animations?
Absolutely. The kit includes all source code and sprite templates. You can design your own sun, storm, snow, or night-mode icons and let the sensor data drive them. The AI companion can help with custom sprite arrays.
Does this kit require soldering?
No soldering needed. All connections are made on the included 400-point breadboard with pre-cut male-to-male jumper wires. You can assemble and disassemble freely.
Is the BMP280 sensor mandatory, or can I run the weather station with only DHT22?
You can run a simplified version with only DHT22 for temperature and humidity, but adding the BMP280 lets you display pressure-based animations like rain when pressure drops, making the weather prediction more realistic. The kit is pre-configured for both sensors.
TFT shows animated weather icons (sun, cloud, rain) based on DHT22 and BMP280 readings.
