ABSTRACT
 We aim to build a low-cost, yet reliable, weather monitoring system capable of acquiring
and recording data. The proposed system has four sensors that measure the Temperature,
Humidity, Sunlight, and Wind. The analogue outputs of the sensors will be converted to digital
signals and further processed by a microcontroller. An LCD display is also connected to the
microcontroller to display the measurements. For analysis and archiving purposes, the data can
be transferred to a Printer through a Serial port of Microcontroller or data can be logged in
EEPROM.

SENSORS DETAIL

1. Temperature ( LM 35 )

2. Sunlight ( LDR )

3. Humidity ( HIH 4000 )

4. Wind ( Dynamo )

Real Time Clock (DS 1302)

 DS 1302 communicates with a microprocessor via a simple serial interface. The real-time
clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The end of the
month date is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap
year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator.

Interfacing the DS1302 with a microprocessor is simplified by using synchronous serial

communication. Only three wires are required to communicate with the clock/RAM: CE, I/O (data line),
and SCLK (serial clock).

Analog to Digital Converter (0808)

In physical world parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity, and velocity are analog
signals. A physical quantity is converted into electrical signals. We need an analog to digital converter
(ADC), which is an electronic circuit that converts continuous signals into discrete form so that the
microcontroller can read the data.

WORK TILL DATE

 Till date we have designed the interfacing of ADC and RTC with microcontroller. The
components have been made available by our company and which is been tested using the bread
board. Then we have designed the PCB layout for ADC and SENSORS using express PCB. We
have also done with the proteus simulation of the interfacing like RTC, ADC and LCD. Code
writing for the ADC, RTC and LCD is been started using keil and in near future we will interface
PRINTER or EEPROM to keep the record of data.

CONCLUSION
 The circuit for “24 x 7 Weather Monitoring System” has been designed by us in proteus
and also the coding for ADC and RTC is been started which we will implement on the hardware.
We have been also working on interfacing of printer or EEPROM. We have learnt the actual
microcontroller working and also got the knowledge of all the sensors and RTC which we have
interfaced.
Still we are gathering all the required data and information for the whole development.
