Build a Live Weather Dashboard with Raspberry Pi Pico W & OLED

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Imagine a tiny display on your desk that shows the current weather — not a forecast, but live data pulled straight from a global weather service. With this kit, you’ll build exactly that: a real-time dashboard using the Raspberry Pi Pico W, a bright OLED screen, and the OpenWeatherMap API. It’s a hands-on journey into IoT, from Wi-Fi connection to JSON parsing, giving you a practical project you can show off at school or in a hackathon.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a compact weather station that updates every minute, showing temperature in degrees Celsius, relative humidity as a percentage, and a weather icon illustrating conditions. Once built, you can select any city in India by changing a single line of code, making it a personalized tool for your region. It’s a self-contained gadget that runs on USB power and fits on a breadboard, ready to inspire bigger IoT ideas.

What You'll Learn

• Connect the Raspberry Pi Pico W to Wi-Fi and fetch live data from a remote API
• Parse JSON weather responses to extract temperature, humidity, and weather codes
• Drive a 0.96-inch OLED display via I2C to render icons and text
• Customize the dashboard layout and add features like city selection or date/time display
