Micro:bit Weather Station Kit - Build a Digital Thermometer & Hygrometer
Micro:bit Weather Station Kit: Your First Real Digital Instrument
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 the pride of building your own weather station-a real digital instrument that measures the world around it. With the BBC Micro:bit v2 at its heart, this beginner kit lets young makers connect a DHT11 sensor to read temperature and humidity, then display the data live on a crisp 16x2 LCD screen. It's a first instrument project that feels like science, coding, and engineering all rolled into one.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a portable, battery-powered weather monitor that shows current temperature and humidity on the LCD. It works right on your desk, powered by AA batteries, so you can observe your room's climate change throughout the day. This isn't a simulation-it's a working electronic instrument you constructed with your own hands.
What You'll Learn
- How to physically connect a DHT11 sensor to the micro:bit via crocodile clips and breadboard
- Coding the micro:bit using MakeCode blocks to read digital temperature and humidity values
- Sending data to an I2C LCD backpack and translating sensor readings into clear on-screen text
- Building a self-contained, battery-operated device and understanding basic power management

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for young Indian makers in ATL Tinkering Labs, CBSE Class 4-5 students stepping into hands-on STEM, and any 8-10-year-old eager to create something tangible. No soldering required-crocodile clips make connections safe and frustration-free. Parents and educators will appreciate a guided project that builds real-world skills from the very first screen readout.
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.
Do I need any coding experience to build this weather station?
Not at all. Our AI companion walks you through every block of code, and you can always reach out on WhatsApp for real-time help. You'll learn the basics as you go.
Can I measure outdoor temperature with this kit?
The DHT11 sensor works perfectly for ambient readings, but keep the electronics dry and avoid direct rain exposure. Use it on a shaded balcony or near a window for real outdoor data.
What if the LCD screen stays blank after I connect everything?
Check the I2C backpack connections first. The AI assistant includes a troubleshooting flow for this exact issue, and you can snap a photo to share with our support team on WhatsApp for quick diagnosis.
Is the BBC Micro:bit included in the box?
Yes, the kit comes with a genuine BBC Micro:bit v2 board. You'll have everything you need to start building the moment you open the package.
DHT11 sensor feeds temperature and humidity to micro:bit which displays on a 16x2 LCD - first real instrument project.
