## Weather Station

In this project, we'll learn how to make a DIY fully featured weather station using an ESP8266 and a 2.4" TFT touchscreen display. This project pulls weather data using the Wunderground API. It displays the date, time, current weather conditionals, 4-day forecast and even moon phases.

[This great code is by Daniel Eichhorn - we just made a lovely case for it!](https://github.com/squix78/esp8266-weather-station-color)
