Hardware Notes

Core Components

  • Arduino MKR1000
  • SH1106 OLED display
  • AM2302 temperature and humidity sensor
  • Two momentary buttons for user input

Planned Responsibilities

Arduino MKR1000

  • Main controller
  • Sensor reading
  • Display updates
  • Button input handling
  • Network connectivity for time and weather data

SH1106 OLED Display

  • Render the current screen
  • Present concise text-based information

AM2302 Sensor

  • Provide ambient temperature
  • Provide ambient humidity

Buttons

  • Next button for navigation
  • Select button for action or mode selection

Wiring Status

The physical wiring is already assembled. Current documented wiring is:

Button Wiring

Select button

  • Signal pin: A5
  • Wiring: pull-up with 10K resistor

Next button

  • Signal pin: A4
  • Wiring: pull-up with 10K resistor

Sensor Wiring

AM2302

  • Measurement/data pin: A3
  • VCC -> 3V3
  • GND -> GND

Display Wiring

SH1106

  • Interface: I2C
  • SCK -> SCL
  • SDA -> SDA
  • VCC -> 5V
  • GND -> GND

Ground

All component ground pins are connected to common GND.

Assumptions To Verify Later

  • The SH1106 module is compatible with the MKR1000 voltage levels
  • The AM2302 is powered within its supported operating range
  • The button pull-up arrangement matches the intended firmware logic
  • Available pins are sufficient for the display, sensor, and both buttons

Risks To Keep In Mind

  • OLED modules may vary by interface and initialization details
  • Sensor timing can be sensitive depending on the library used
  • Network-based features may require retry logic and fallback screen states
