Hello from Eric. Where can I Download the weatherStation.ino? Since there are so many, who is the Author of this code?
Thanks for any Help/Reply
I’m kind of confused about this tutorial. Would not you need an additional board with an esp8266 w/wifi? If so, what pins are Serial2 initialized upon. I was not able to see how Serial2 was defined in the weatherstation.ino file.
