Assembly

Use the diagram to connect all the parts

Diagram

  • SDS011 has two data wires (TX,RX) to be connected to data pins on the Wemos board. Let’s use D5 (GPIO14) and D6 (GPIO12). If you happen to connect them differently, you will be able to configure it later on in firmware. It requires 5V and GND.

  • DHT22 board has only 1 data wire to be connected to one of the data pins on the Wemos board. Let’s use D7 (GPIO13) but you might use any one that is free. It might be powered by 3.3V and GND.

  • OLED - you do not have to do anything as it is already connected to the board: SDA to D1 (GPIO-5) and SCL to D2 (GPIO-4).

It should look more or less like this, once you are done Photo
