WEATHER-STATION-ARDUINO project:

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 :

REQUIRED SENSORS:

• Temperature & Humidity : DHT22 SENSOR
  

• Atmospheric pressure : BAROMETER SENSOR - BMP 180
  

• 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.

OTHER REQUIRED COMPONENTS :

• Arduino Uno Board
  
• Arduino Uno Proto Shield
  
• Jumper Wires
  
  

WORKING OF THE PROJECT :

• 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.
