The weather station is an IOT project that collects the following data related to the weather and environment using different sensors on an arduino board :
- Light intensity :
LIGHT SENSOR(LDR)-MH SERIES
- UV index :
UV SENSOR : HW-837
- Dust concentration :
DUST SENSOR : GP2Y10
- Rain sensor :
RAIN SENSOR
- The aim is to make a small and simple weather station, using open hardware.
-
The circuit is powered by the USB port (connected to a computer or a ordinary phone charger), but you may also add an external DC power supply or a battery connected to the Arduino power jack.
-
A case for the weather station circuit is out of the scope of this project.
-
Connecting the Parts :
- Connect all the components according to the schematic. You'll need some jumper wires to connect each sensor to the breadboard. You might use a protoshield (for a more compact circuit), an ordinary breadboard, or design you own Arduino shield.
- Plug the USB cable to the Arduino Uno board and proceed to the next step.
-
Assuming you have already installed the latest Arduino IDE, download and install the following libraries:
- DHT22 library
- Adafruit BMP085 library
- Then work with the code uploaded in the drive.
