Enclosure for Temp + Humidity node with OLED display

[titvs]

Hi everyone,

Already posted this over at the troubleshooting section, so im posting here also for whoever is interested. My "compact" temperature + humidity node enclosure with a little window for a 0.96" OLED display.
Every part is in place using the printed spacers and the back is attached with 2 self drilling screwers.

Looks good :-)

@bjacobse said in Enclosure for Temp + Humidity node with OLED display:

Looks good :-)

Thanks! :relaxed:

I hide my sensors in old library books. I try to get the name of the book to be a pun on the sensor inside. So for example, I have an air quality sensor that is inside a murder mystery called "poison".

Can you share sketch and connection?

@pihome Sure! Its no trade secret. ;)

Ive used the U8g2lib for the display which is connected at A4 and A5, as defined in the code.
You should power the display directly to a good power source (3.3 ~ 5.5V) since you are also powering a radio module.

Its basically the temp+hum sketch where Ive included some lines of code for the display. At boot it displays the message "Connecting…". If the gateway or repeater is offline or out of range, it wont do anything else unless MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS is of a different value than the default (not pretty sure but ive read that the default is to wait forever).

It will then display temp + hum with a small chain icon at the bottom (connected). If the gateway goes offline it displays "Disconnected!"

Im not sure if this is bug free, so feel free to debug and add new functionalities. :)
