Animated Weather Station Display Variant 16 Kit with Arduino Uno + DHT22
Animated Weather Station Display Kit with Arduino Uno & DHT22 – See Sun, Cloud & Rain Icons on a TFT Screen
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 raw temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure readings into a visually rich animated display. This kit lets you build a compact weather station where a full-color 1.8-inch TFT screen shows sun, cloud, or rain icons that shift seamlessly as conditions change. It's the perfect blend of environmental sensing and creative coding, giving your sensor data a face that anyone can understand at a glance.
What You'll Build
A self-contained weather station that reads real-time environment data from DHT22 and BMP280 sensors and presents it as dynamic cartoon-style animations on a TFT. The screen cycles through a cheerful sun, fluffy cloud, or falling rain icon based on temperature and humidity thresholds, while beneath the graphics you'll always see the live numerical values for temperature, humidity, and pressure. The result is an engaging dashboard that feels like a tiny window into the weather outside.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing DHT22 (temperature/humidity) and BMP280 (pressure) sensors with Arduino Uno using standard libraries
- Programming the ST7735 color TFT display to render custom weather icons, coordinate layouts, and text overlays
- Designing state-based animation logic that chooses sun, cloud, or rain based on sensor thresholds, with smooth transitions
- Building reliable sensor circuits on a breadboard — including pull-up resistors for DHT22 and decoupling capacitors for clean readings

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11–12 students tackling computer science or physics projects that involve embedded systems and data visualization. B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates building a polished mini-project for lab evaluations or Smart India Hackathon demos. ATL Tinkering Lab mentors introducing sensor integration and creative display programming in a single, confidence-building workshop. It's an ideal next step after you've mastered blinking LEDs and now want to create something that responds to the physical world with personality.
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?
Scan the QR code to access your AI companion, pre-loaded with the exact build steps for this weather station kit. For additional support, you can message us on WhatsApp — a real person will help you troubleshoot.
Do I need prior programming experience?
Basic familiarity with the Arduino IDE and C++ is helpful, but the AI companion explains every line of code. If you have completed a simple LED blink project, you are ready for this kit. The code is modular and heavily commented.
Can I use this kit outdoors?
The DHT22 sensor works indoors and outdoors, but the TFT screen and breadboard are not weatherproof. For outdoor use, add a protective enclosure and run longer wires to the sensors. The animations remain crisp behind a transparent cover.
Does the kit include a battery?
A 9V battery snap is included. You will need to supply a standard 9V battery (not included) to power the Arduino Uno when not connected to USB.
TFT shows animated weather icons (sun, cloud, rain) based on DHT22 and BMP280 readings.
