This is my solution to the homework for Lesson 28 of the Raspberry Pi Pico W lessons.

Look Ma! No hands!

The homework was to build on the class lesson and at a bare minimum, add an RGB LED to the circuit and display the server IP address and Port to the OLED and make the RGB LED light up with commands from the client side.

I went a bit further and added the DHT11 and added code to display that data including whatever was sent by the client side. This was interesting for a number of reasons particularly how to clear a LINE of data off the OLED without messing with the others. The only thing I would change here is making the loop thru the temp/humidity readings more real-time using threading - which we haven't been taught here yet but I'm using it in the Ultimate GPS Tracker Project class and so I did write a version for that - see the supplement video if you want to see that (code only, the video looks the same).

I also have configured this to use the SunFounder BreadVolt for battery power - I will diverge from the classes here as I prefer this method of battery power. All I have to do to make this work with the battery is remove the red cable from the 3V3 OUT pin 36.

I enjoy these exercises.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Paul does the homework!

NOTE:
I started this series about 2 years after it began, so a lot of catching up. I'm also taking the Ultimate GPS course that draws heavily on the Pico W lessons, so I'm bombing thru these as fast as I can to catch up. Also, while I bought the Pico W kit and have the Pico W, I bought the Pico 2 W and am using it here in this series. Should be backwards compatible and function the same with a better CPU and more memory. We'll see! :) Have a few projects I want to use a microcontroller for, so all of this helps to that end.

Still haven't figured out how to use the free video editing tools used to make this video. I am getting better over time but you can only shove so much info into a soup can... Still having a blast tho :)
