In this video, I unbox and review the CrowPanel ESP32 E-Paper Display and show you how easily you can turn it into a fully wireless weather station.
This e-paper screen connects directly to Wi-Fi using its built-in ESP32 microcontroller — no Raspberry Pi, no Arduino required.
You’ll see how it displays live weather data from OpenWeather, consumes almost no power, and even keeps the image on screen after you unplug it.
I’ll walk you through everything step by step — from downloading the code, installing the required libraries, and uploading it to the display, to showing the final working project.
If you’ve ever wanted to build your own IoT weather station or learn how e-paper displays work, this project is a perfect place to start.
