# Raspberry Pi Weather Station

**Difficulty:** Beginner | **Estimated Time:** 2 hours

Build a home weather station that monitors temperature, pressure and displays readings on a screen.

### Overview

In this project, you will build a simple weather station using a Raspberry Pi and environmental sensors. The station will measure temperature and barometric pressure, displaying the readings on a connected display.

### What You Will Learn

- Setting up a Raspberry Pi with sensors
- Reading I2C sensor data with Python
- Displaying real-time data on a screen
- Basic data logging to CSV files

### Step 1: Hardware Setup

Connect the BMP585 temperature and pressure sensor to your Raspberry Pi using the I2C pins (SDA and SCL). The sensor uses the Qwiic/STEMMA QT connector for easy plug-and-play wiring.

### Step 2: Software Installation

Install the required Python libraries using pip. You will need the adafruit-circuitpython-bmp3xx library for the sensor and a display library if using an external screen.

1. Enable I2C in raspi-config
2. Install CircuitPython libraries
3. Run the test script to verify sensor readings

### Step 3: Display and Logging

Connect the display and write a Python script that reads sensor data every 30 seconds, shows it on screen, and logs to a CSV file for later analysis.
