Planning a new revision of the workshop weather station project, with ideas for ESP32-C3 integration, USB-to-serial, RS485, micro SD logging, exposed SPI and I2C buses, and a small online dashboard demo.

Integrating the BME280 sensor into a weather station project, debugging a BMP280 mix-up, and verifying sensor identity via I2C device ID.

Testing the weather station PCB by verifying the OLED display, UART connection, and sensor modules, while uncovering an unexpected BMP280 sensor mix-up.

Finishing the weather station prototype PCB, testing the assembled board, discovering an OLED pinout mismatch, and investigating reverse voltage through the LDO regulator.

Assembling and testing a custom weather station PCB, including SMD reflow using a hotplate, lessons learned, and early-stage debugging.
