FYP 2 (Week 3)

For this week, I continued to do research on the problem I faced, which is not getting any wind speed value when using NodeMCU ESP8266. Then, using the same circuit connection, I changed the supply for the anemometer sensor from Vin (ESP8266) to 5V (Arduino Uno) to ensure that the supply of the anemometer sensor is sufficient to operate the sensor. After making the connection, the sensor can read the wind speed without any problem. So I found out that the Vin pin on the NodeMCU ESP8266 is not deliver 5V. On Wednesday, I went to met with Madam Azliza to update about the progress for my project. During the meeting, I told all the problems I faced as well as some additions to my project if my original project went smoothly. The addition I would like to add is the weather forecast, where the OLED Display will display the upcoming weather conditions. For the weather forecast, all information about the weather will be taken from the website https://openweathermap.org/.
