ARDUINO BASED MINI WEATHER STATION WITH
AIR QUALITY MEASURING
ABSTRACT
This manuscript mainly focuses on the development of a model weather station to measure weather data: temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and air quality. This type of weather station has been designed to perform accurate measurement of weather and air quality data.
This design uses Arduino. Arduino is an open-source platform that enables us to quickly build electronics projects. It consists of both a physical Programmable Circuit Board (PCB) and a piece of software (an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)) that works on all known operating systems. We use the Arduino to develop a weather monitoring system based on temperature and humidity variables obtained from a DHT11 sensor, BMP180 sensor for measuring pressure MQ135 sensor for air quality measuring and uses an anemometer for measuring wind speed. The system, when tested, was able to report if weather is Hot, Normal, or Cold based on the exact temperature and relative humidity within a 20meter area.
Air pollution in many countries is worsening with industrialization and urbanization, resulting in climate change and affecting people's health. It is therefore both urgent and necessary to establish a more scientific air quality monitoring and early warning system to evaluate the degree of air pollution objectively, and predict pollutant concentrations accurately.
