My next projects

This is a short list about my next projects:

  • a chiper weather station;
  • a new app based on GFS satellite's information; 
  • antenna for receiving GFS satellite's signals;
  • using D3 to generate graphics online for my weather forecasts;
  • use of machine learning in weather forecasts.
I hope to have some ideas about anything out of weather forecasts!! :-D

Arduino and Blynk (1)

This is my last experiment with Arduino UNO and the adding of the useless platform Blynk (for Android).
So I decided to have a real time visualizer of a set of datas for Android.
Preview of the experiment
In the picture we can see the presence of a special clock which provides not only the time, but also the environmental temperature. In this way we can compare our misure with the real misure.
All we can see that the values are the same (22°C the first number on the tablet and the number in the blue squared clock on the right side). 
The other values are: humidity (48%), Dew point (10.47°C) and the pressure (1004.27 hPa).
In one of the next posts I'll show you all the construction phases and the starting of the generation of a real electronic board.
Follow me...

Thingspeak and my weather station

Once I have built the minimal structure of my weather station I decided it was important to become public the datas on the web in a way I could read it everytime I could. 

The name of the solution is ThingSpeak: on this page I can create my personal channel on which I can connect my ESP8266 via Wi-Fi and visualize, through linear graphics, various informations like temperature, pressure, humidity (and also a map with the point where the station is).

Here it is the graphic about the atmospheric pressure (updated in real time!)


Here is the link the site: ThingSpeak
And the complete link to my personal weather channel: https://thingspeak.com/channels/145284
