One approach to weather station design based on Raspberry Pi platform

One possible weather station solution based on the Raspberry Pi platform is described in this paper. Information about current air temperature, air humidity, atmospheric pressure and relative altitude is collected from appropriate sensors. Received data are processed and transmitted from measuring point to the distant location via UDP protocol. Sensors data acquisition and UDP server are implemented on Raspberry Pi platform. On the other side, an android application which requests and presents acquired weather data at distant location is developed. Proposed solution provides real-time data acquisition and transfer of measured parameters, like much more expensive commercial systems. Moreover, it is very flexible and can be easily adapted to various applications.
