Project Overview
A new self-sufficient mobile weather station project has been introduced, designed to allow hobbyists, students, and researchers to collect comprehensive local atmospheric data. The device is powered by solar panels and built around Raspberry Pi technology.
Technical Details
The weather station includes sensors for temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light intensity. It uses a Raspberry Pi Zero W for low-power operation and data processing, with all components sealed to achieve an IP65 rating for use in harsh weather conditions.
Testing and Development
Field testing occurred in April on the Gower Peninsula, where the device successfully established a web server and stored sampled data. Testing revealed minor issues such as heat trapping by the temperature sensor and bearing friction in the anemometer, which are planned for future improvements.
