Is this board okay?

Tue 2017.01.31

Hello @user73202, thank you for the clarification.

I'm sure you checked this out, http://www.espruino.com/Pico but just in case, does this pictorial provide some clarification, comparing the software pin labels to the board you intended on purchasing?

You used the phrase 'high schooler' which typically is representative of the education system here in the USA and not that over in Europe. Would that be an accurate assessment?

As you haven't provided much detail on project requirements and a due date, a 'Weather Logger' project, depending on the desired functionality, could be quite an intermediate undertaking and certainly not 'nooby' as you describe. Don't sell yourself short. Quite an admirable choice, indeed.

Have you considered doing a step-by-step picture or video blog and posting it to social media to add bonus points to the overall project? Heck, why not post here with some links to pics and vids as I'm sure others will appreciate your work and recognize your effort.

If you haven't been cautioned yet, when you pruchase your electronic modules, make sure you verify the voltage requirement of each before you buy online. Quick read each data sheet to verify, for should you wire a 3.3v device to a 5.0v supply, you will quickly learn you have just used up an expensive fuse, as you watch your purchase go up in smoke. While NOT plugged in, wire first, take a break, re-check your work then plug in the supply. Some components and modules might be a bit more forgiving than others, but no sense wasting hard earned money. This also applies to USB ports on PCs. While they may provide a 5.0v supply, one cannot keep adding parts to the project expecting the USB port to comply. ~500ma is about max for USB 2. Add up the current requirements, to determine the battery needs if portability was on your mind, or the minimum for a wallwort and voltage regulator.
Just my 0.02 worth.

Should you choose to complete this project, which I hope you will, I'll stay clued in to this forum to provide some guidance, should you run into a snag. Not going to do your work for you, but I and others may be able to shed some light on the direction you take. Give some consideration to the 'Pico' as mentioned by @Wilberforce in the previous post. I purchased both the original Espruino and the Pico and liked the ability to just plug the Pico into a USB port without a cable and I was up and running.

Best of luck and please keep us informed.
