Title |
|
Wireless Weather Probe |
|
|
|
Abstract |
|
I will present in the following an alternative to commercially available weather stations, built around an MSP430 ultra low power microcontroller.
The focus of this project, as the name suggests, is on the instruments measuring weather parameters. The base station decision is left open for the user. For myself I am still trying to decide between making weather data available in internet via a PC or collecting and using it locally, on an eZ430- Chronos watch…
The main characteristics of this weather probe:
- Measure (wind speed, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, rain, i.e. is it raining?, battery level
- 433MHz wireless link to base station
- Powered by a single cell CR2032 (11uA average current)
- Creative and “green” use of easy to find, low cost materials |
