Project scenario

Weather Station

I2C sensors, OLED readouts, and low-power telemetry.

Build Stack Notes

Scenario pages should connect MCUs, sensors, displays, power parts, and communication modules into a coherent bill-of-material direction. This gives makers an entry point even when they do not know the exact model name to search for.
