DIY ESP32 weather screen: was it worth it?

Original: Serviva davvero una schermata Meteo? NO! È stato facile farla? NO! Allora perché farla? NO! # waveshare # ESP32 # Monito

A maker has published the third episode of a project building a weather display screen using an ESP32 microcontroller and a Waveshare display. In the write-up, the creator humorously answers their own questions: the weather screen was not really necessary, it was not easy to build, and yet they made it anyway — a tongue-in-cheek nod to the spirit of DIY electronics projects.

Why now: The self-deprecating 'why did I even build this?' framing resonates with DIY and maker communities who enjoy unnecessary-but-fun tech projects.
