SEE ALLA high quality surface weather station that can be manufactured in about a week, at a cost of only $200-400 USD, using locally sourced materials, microsensor technology, low-cost single board computers, and a 3D printer. The 3D printed automatic weather station sensors measure pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, and light. The system uses a Raspberry Pi single-board computer for data acquisition, data processing, and communications.
How does your innovation work?
The 3D printed weather station integrates microsensors built into 3D-printed housing framework that collect data on a small Raspberry Pi Computer. The data are processed and set to a webserver using wireless or cell modem technologies. The observations can be viewed in real-time and downloaded for use in decision support applications.
