#+TITLE: Weather Station
The goal of this project is to produce a cheap and reasonably robust
weather station with low energy usage that can be deployed far from
any kind of power or network infrastructure.
* Design
** Infrastructure
*** Data storage
Removable storage device that can be routinely retrieved and
swapped out. An SD card seems to be the best choice.
*** Power supply
A pack of rechargable batteries is the simplest solution.
** Metrics
*** Temperature & Humidity
Off-the-shelf temperature and humidity sensor.
*** Insolation
Off-the-shelf ambient light sensor.
*** Pressure
Off-the-shelf barometer. [[https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pressure-sensor-ics/1361511][DPS310]] seems to fit the bill.
*** Wind speed
3D printed cup anemometer using a permanent magnet and a hall
effect sensor.
*** Wind direction
3D printed wind vane with a permanent magnet on the axis and a
angular position sensor.
