Introduction
This project is about creating a weather plant which could inform its user of the wind
speed and of the sunshine.
We had to manage two sensors, an anemometer as well as a photovoltaic cell. In order to get
reliable information from them, we had to meet some requirements, like creating a function
to calibrate the anemometer automatically each time it’s started. What’s more, we made a
board to amplify and filter the electrical signal coming from the photovoltaic cell.
In everyday life, a weather station is used to collect information on the environment, for
individuals as well as for companies. It might be used as simple information to be aware of
the weather while companies will use it as a source of information to manage their
equipment (Security on a machine if the wind speed is too high, for instance).
This weather plant is autonomous, which makes it an adequate tool to regulate a system
without human intervention/ constant oversight.
First of all, we are going to present the specifications of our project, and which upgrades we
included. Then we will introduce you the analog part of the project, in order to show how we
managed the two sensors.
This will be followed by the I.T part presentation, where we will justify how we programmed
the functions and finally, we will make our conclusion on this project.
