Design of a Low Cost Automatic Meteorological Weather Station
Design of a Low Cost Automatic Meteorological Weather Station
Abstract
It is obvious that the correct atmospheric information will be important for all solar applications, determining the best time of planting, climate, airport control tower, and weather forecasting. In this study, a cheap, real-time and embedded system controlled meteorological station has been designed. Arduino Mega 2560 card with Atmega 2560 microcontroller was used as an embedded system. In the developed weather station, BMP180 barometric pressure sensor and DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor were used. The DS1302 real-time clock module was used to display temperature, humidity and pressure values instantly on the LCD screen. These values from the sensors are saved to the SD card minute by minute. A daily temperature, humidity, and pressure values were saved with the designed meteorological station by measuring. The hourly maximum temperature values of the measured day have been compared with the values of the previous years taken from the Karaman State Meteorology Station. The obtained preliminary results are promising for further studies on the improvement of the proposed meteorological system.
