Arduino Weather Station - Ep1: Arduino and ESP8266

The first episode in the "Arduino Weather Station" series shows you how to use the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensors with the Arduino Uno board to build a connected weather station that displays current temperature and humidity on an LCD screen.

In the next episode (Now Live: https://youtu.be/aR3pAWPbU1Q), we will learn how to push the data to AWS IoT through an ESP8266 ESP-01 board connected to WIFI.
