The Weather Station Monitoring System is an IoT-based project that allows you to monitor weather conditions in real-time. It collects data using various sensors and sends it to the ThingSpeak cloud platform for storage and visualization. This README provides an overview of the project's components, setup, and usage.
- Real-time monitoring of weather conditions.
- Rainfall detection with the FC-37 Raindrop Sensor.
- Data storage and visualization on ThingSpeak.
- Data analysis with Jupyter Notebook.
- Clone this repository.
- Upload the Arduino sketch to your NodeMCU with WiFi and ThingSpeak credentials.
- Connect the hardware as per the provided schematics.
- Access ThingSpeak for data visualization.
- Analyze data using the included Jupyter Notebook.
- NodeMCU 8266
- FC-37 Raindrop Sensor
- Breadboard
- Jumper wires
- Micro USB Cable
- Arduino IDE
- Windows Operating System
- Cloud Platform: ThingSpeak
- Jupyter Notebook
-
Clone this repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/weather-station.git
-
Install Arduino IDE if you haven't already from Arduino's official website.
-
Upload the Arduino sketch to your NodeMCU 8266 board using the Arduino IDE. Make sure to set up your WiFi credentials and ThingSpeak API keys in the sketch.
-
Connect the hardware components as per the provided schematics (add schematics or wiring instructions to the repository).
-
Power up the NodeMCU using the Micro USB cable.
-
The NodeMCU will start collecting data from the FC-37 Raindrop Sensor and send it to ThingSpeak at regular intervals.
-
Access your ThingSpeak channel to visualize and analyze the collected data.
Data Visualization You can analyze and visualize the weather data using Jupyter Notebook. The provided Jupyter Notebook file, weather_data_analysis.ipynb, contains code for data visualization and analysis. Follow these steps:
-
Install Jupyter Notebook on your machine if you haven't already.
-
Open the weather_data_analysis.ipynb notebook in Jupyter Notebook.
-
Run the cells in the notebook to generate visualizations and insights from your weather data.
