Weather Data
A clock with a Weather Data Display.
The reason for the project is to utilize some sensors of my kit and it has a part of my final project which is the timer.

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Software
Arduino to Program the Circuit.
Fritzing to wire the circuit virtually (TinkerCAD doesn't have the RTC Module).
Material
Arduino UNO "Controller".
RTC DS3231 Real Time Clock Module.
DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor.
LCD 16x2.
Small Breadboard.
Jumper Wires.

Wiring
Preparation Steps
Search for Inspiration "Instructables, Arduino Project Hub, Adafruit".
Chose a Device that could be useful and its components are available in my Kit.
Wire the Circuit directly as TinkerCAD doesn't have RTC Module of DHT module.
Write a program for each sensor separately and test it, then assemble the code.
Programming Steps
Importing libraries of RTC, DHT sensors and LCD.
Creating Boolean variables to alternate the display of time and weather data.
Initializing RTC to get current time.
Creating DHT object to read temperature and humidity data.
Initializing LCD.
Print Date and Time on LCD from RTC Reading.
Wait for 2 Seconds.
Print Temperature and Humidity on LCD from DHT Sensor reading.
Wait for 2 Seconds and repeat the cycle again.
Development/Implementation Process
Development/Implementation Process

Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?
Implementation Steps
Wire my Physical Circuit Using the Mentioned Materials Above.
Program my Arduino Board.
Run the Program to See the Action in Real Simulation.

Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]
Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.
Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.
We made a smart home with two modes:
Manual: Where the user can operate the components manually.
Automatic: Where the components are operated based on sensors input.
