Solar-powered outdoor weather station with PC logging and graphs
|
I have always enjoyed reading/doing projects that involve sensing various environmental parameters and recording them. This Solar-powered outdoor weather station built upon the Arduino platform measures the ambient temperature, humidity and barometric pressure, and send these parameters to a PC using XBee RF modules. The measurements are recorded on the PC and presented in nice charts showing their temporal trends.
The beauty of this project is that the outdoor module is fully powered through a Lipo battery which is charged through a solar panel. Sensors used in this project are DHT22 for temperature and relative humidity measurements, and BMP0805 for measuring barometric pressure.

Thanks for the post. I like updated by the embedded-lab. The post was awesome and i like it.
I’m planing to develop a UI which can read the (XBEE pro OEM) DO register and write to a oracle database. And can read characters and transmit over xbee.
Any idea, how should i do this? Any API or source code of x-ctu, or language which can support database operations too?
Thanks in advance!
