Aura is a smart weather forecast display for your home. It's open source, costs less than $20 to build, and assembles in seconds without any wiring or soldering.

You can find the full project instructions here. This page is only for installing the software on the ESP32 board.

Software Installation Instructions

  1. Connect your ESP32-2432S028R ILI9341 board (with 2.8in screen) to your computer's USB port.
  2. Click the 'Connect' button below. This will only work in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
  3. When prompted to choose a port, choose “USB Serial”.
  4. Click 'Install Aura'.

Software Updates

To upgrade to the latest version, just re-install the software above.

  1. v1.1 - Added the current time to the screen.
  2. v1.0 - Initial release.

Inverted Colors Fix

Some ESP32 boards store colors differently in RAM, so the screen shows up with the wrong colors. If you have that issue, install this version instead.
