esp8266-bme680-aprs-wx-station

A simple and lightweight APRS weather station using the BME680 sensor and ESP8266.

Hardware Requirements

• ESP8266 WiFi enabled microcontroller
• BME680 environmental sensor

Software Dependencies

Libraries:

• ESP8266WiFi
• Wire
• Adafruit_Sensor

Setup

Wiring:

• Connect the BME680 sensor to the i2c pins on the ESP8266 (SCL -> D1, SDA -> D2)
• Connect the GND and VCC pins to ground and the correct voltage output on the ESP depending on your sensor model
• Connect D0 (GPIO16/WAKE) to RST to use deep sleep. (Enabled by default, to disable it comment out lines 82-83 and uncomment line 81.)

Software Configuration

• Replace all the information in the initial defines with your information

Usage

• Connect the ESP8266 to external power and the station will start monitoring

Troubleshooting

• Connection to APRS-IS server failed: Try hardcoding the APRS-IS rotate.aprs2.net ip address in the server define field or change the dns settings.
