Development of a Hardware and Software System for Meteorological Observations

Abstract

Article is devoted to development of a hardware and software system for monitoring of weather conditions. The hardware of this complex is the Arduino platform, which are connected sensors of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, speed and direction of wind, level of ultra-violet radiation, which allow to watch environment parameters. Data are transferred to the remote server which is constructed on the basis of the single board computer Raspberry Pi, by means of a radio channel. For ensuring functioning of a complex, the software was written and it consisting of three programs. The first program was written to on Si similar language for operation of the Arduino controller. The second from programs was written for functioning of the server, it consists of MySQL DBMS, a script for data record in a basis and the PhpMyAdmin servers for administration of a DB. The third was written in the C# programming language and represents the application Windows forms. The made experiment showed that the complex allows to carry continuously meteorological observations, at the same time data remain in the database and the consumer software allows to carry their processing.
