1. Project Goal

The goal of our project is to build a personalized weather station. A personalized weather station
is a weather station of small scale which can provide an individual or group of people in a
limited area with accurate weather results.

The key factor driving this project is Internet of Things(IoT) and popular micro-controller called
Arduino. This weather station is being build with the aim of providing current weather result and
predicting weather based on those readings. It will give humidity reading from 0-100% with 2-
5% accuracy and temperature readings varying from -400C to 800C with +-0.50C accuracy. Rain
sensor can sense very little drops of rain.

The data collected after small interval of time will be sent over internet so that it can be seen by
everyone for their sole purpose.
2. Project Work done till date

35% of the total work has been completed. All the hardware needed for the project has been
purchased (i.e. micro-controller board, sensors, jumper wires, batteries and other small tools).
Different possible circuit designs was made to get the best possible design and that design has
been selected. Power division among the various sensors has been recorded on paper for the most
efficient use of energy. Design was reviewed by each team member and only after that final
decision was made to reject or to approve the design.

Each sensor is tested on Arduino board to check their accuracy, precision and compatibility with
the micro – controller. Each sensor is working precisely and accurately.

3. Total numbers of modules in the project : 6

4. Modules covered till date:

1. Selecting sensors and testing each sensor individually

2. Designing circuit diagram

5. Description of covered modules:

5.1 Selecting sensors and testing each sensor individually: The micro-controller we are using
is Arduino Uno R3. So each sensor needs to be picked up according to factors of Uno R3 e.g.
power supply, number of digital outputs, number of analog outputs etc.

Selected sensors include ESP8266, BMP180, FC37, DHT22.

5.2 Designing circuit diagram: Circuit diagram has been designed in such a way that sensors
will consume minimum power. This is the most important module in this project and one of the
time consuming process which has been completed successfully. We might need to disassemble
hardware at some points for various purposes and this circuit diagram will make it easy to re-
assemble the hardware.

7. Further Directions (Pending work details):

• Assembling of hardware according to circuit diagram.

• Building logic and writing code.

• Connecting setup to internet.

• Testing of complete setup.
