|
### This project is based on work from [execuc/esp-hw-monitoring](https://github.com/execuc/esp-hw-monitoring) with several modifications to fit my needs. I take no credit for the original work.
|
|
|
|
### Modifications include but are not limited to:
|
|
|
|
- Major code cleanup
|
|
- Data format modification
|
|
- More efficient data reading
|

|
## What is this?
|
|
|
|
This is a simple ESP8266 based system monitor that can be used to monitor system information and resources. It also shows the current time as well as the ambient temperature and humidity.
|
|
|
|
## Components used
|
|
|
|
- ESP8266
|
|
- 240*320 2.8 inch ILI9341 LCD
|
|
- DHT22 temperature module (with resistor)
|
|
|
|
## Connecting the components
|
|
|
|
- Connect the LCD to the ESP8266 as follows:
|
|
- LCD VCC to ESP8266 3.3V
|
|
- LCD GND to ESP8266 GND
|
|
- LCD CS to ESP8266 D2
|
|
- LCD RESET to ESP8266 D3
|
|
- LCD DC to ESP8266 D4
|
|
|
|
- Connect the DHT22 to the ESP8266 as follows:
|
|
- DHT22 VCC to ESP8266 3.3V
|
|
- DHT22 GND to ESP8266 GND
|
|
- DHT22 DATA to ESP8266 D8
|
|
|
|
## How to use
|
|
|
|
- Install the Arduino IDE
|
|
- Install the ESP8266 board
|
|
- Install the following libraries:
|
|
- Adafruit GFX Library
|
|
- Adafruit ILI9341
|
|
- Adafruit Unified Sensor
|
|
- DHT sensor library
|
|
|
|
- Open the `sysmon.ino` file in the Arduino IDE
|
|
|
|
- Upload the code to the ESP8266
|
|
|
|
- Run the sysmon.py script on your computer
|
|
|
|
- Enjoy!
