Cross-Platform Innovation: A $10 Wi-Fi Thermometer and Kotlin-Multiplatform App with Raspberry Pi Pico
Have you ever wished you could monitor the temperature across all the rooms in your house? Well, you’re in luck! With just $10, it’s incredibly easy to build a Wi-Fi thermometer.
The Story
Raspberry Pi has announced an exciting sale, offering their Wi-Fi-enabled board for only $7. This makes it a perfect choice for quickly transforming into a portable Wi-Fi thermometer.
Even better, development has never been simpler. Gone are the days of wrestling with complex C or C++ code — thanks to MicroPython, programming for the Raspberry Pi Pico is now accessible to everyone.
This project is also available as a video guide, which you can follow step-by-step.
Today, we’ll not only read temperature data from a sensor but also broadcast it over a Wi-Fi network. The result? You’ll be able to view live temperature updates on your mobile phone. Let’s dive in!
