Davis Vantage Pro Weather Station Reciever using a Moteieino board with RFM69 and Color TFT Display.(1)
This project is mainly a demo of the dekay/DavisRFM69 library (et.al.) @dekay using a TFT LCD screen it was intended to be a low-cost replacement for a broken Davis Vu Weather station that the ISS still works (with a few issues) ...but that is another story. Hopefully someone will find this useful. I had a fun time developing it and you can still see the saga of revisions in the source code listing as it evolved over several months.
Display in action - Front view
Because i used a low cost Motieno, https://lowpowerlab.com/ it ran out of memory so this version can display mainly only the data received from the Davis Vantage Vu ISS. With some derived info like, max and mins, rain, and cool TFT wind compass displays.
Curently, this project version does not add the internal data to make a complete TFT console replacement for display of all weather parameters. I had to remove indoor temp, humidity and barometric pressure to make a usable replacement.
I designed a circuit board and added some usefull features such as push button setting a LiPo battery backup and charger, and a real time clock. Some features will need to move to the: next version that uses a Teensey 3.2 board will do all this and more!
This is a derivitive work from several authors i give credit
to the original works in line as i use them, without their work
this would not be possible. The original work here includes the
additions for using TFT LCD displays. But I credit to getting the
TFT to work with the RFM69 was because of this excellent article:

https://github.com/kobuki/VPTools VPTools is a Davis(TM) weather station compatible transceiver library. It is a work in progress. It can receive from multiple RF transmitters (ISS, ATK, etc.) It tries to serve as a basis for similar hobby projects. Example sketches provide simple, parseable and RAW packet output among others.
