RE: ADVANCE WARNING !!! Everyday Practical Electronics - AUGUST 2003

["Nick Broughton" <mail@xxxxxxx>]

Presumably a lot of external sensors are still required?

How does something like this differ from a Dallas weather station (of which
I admit to knowing precious little!)?

Hi All,

Just got the July issue of EPE and there is a preview of next months issue

Everyday Practical Electronics - AUGUST 2003 - publishing date Thursday
10th
July.

"EPE PIC MET OFFICE"
Solid state weather station based on a PIC16F877

Barometric Pressure in millibars
Temperature in C and F including Sub Zero
Amospheric relative humidity as an RH percentage
Soil Moisture , bone-dry to saturated as a percentage
Light intensity as a relative percentage , full sun to total darkness
Rain Fall, immediate
Rain Fall , cumulative
Wind Speed kph, mph, beaufort - immediate and averaged
Wind direction - immediate and averaged - 0 to 360 deg
Wind chill factor
Rainbow alert
Recording of all data to non-volatile serial memory - upto 256kB
Selectable data sampling rates from 1 second to 1 hour intervals
Serial output of realtime and recorded data to PC.

There is also some mention of PC software for it but I assume the serial
data format will be described at which point I would expect this to become
xAP and xPL enabled :-)

Sounds like it could be an interesting project.
