Pico Weather

Raspberry Pi Pico app to read BME280 sensor data and send it to Home Assistant.

Made in Go with TinyGo.

Requirements

• TinyGo - TinyGo installation guide

Deployment

1. Clone this git repository git clone https://git.metaunix.net/gballan/pico-weather.
2. Copy config.go.example to config.go and modify the values to match your environment.
3. Hold down the BOOTSEL button on your Raspberry Pi Pico 2W.
4. Plug in your Pico to a USB port on your PC.
5. Wait 2-3 seconds then release the BOOTSEL button.
6. Flash the program to the Pico: tinygo flash -target=pico2-w .. a. Note: On Pop!_OS I needed to open the file browser and mount the RP2350 partition manually while tinygo was attempting the flash, otherwise it would fail.
7. Monitor the app: tinygo monitor.

At this point, you should be able to deploy this. Unplug the Pico, connect your BME280 sensor and power it back on - you should start receiving data in Home Assistant under the name you set with NodeName.
