Lark Weather Station - Educational Weather Device

Why Choose Lark Weather Station?

The Lark Weather Station is a comprehensive solution for precise atmospheric data collection. This weather station simplifies the process of measurement and recording key weather elements such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and air pressure. Features include support for real-time communication and compatibility with popular controllers like micro:bit, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and Unihiker development boards. It also boasts built-in storage space, a compact size for easy storage, and a universal tripod interface. It's an ideal tool for educators, students, and researchers in meteorological studies.

The Earth's atmosphere is a dynamic and intricate system influenced by various factors, with wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and air pressure being pivotal. A comprehensive understanding of atmospheric movement necessitates precise detection and recording of these elements. Traditionally, acquiring meteorological data involved a cumbersome process of integrating multiple sensors, requiring time-consuming wiring, programming, debugging, and assembly. This posed significant challenges for educators and students interested in meteorological research. Moreover, existing commercial weather stations are often specialized weather monitoring equipment that cannot be developed twice and lack adaptability, thus falling short in meeting the diverse needs of research. The portable Lark weather station addresses these issues.

Applications

• Portable Weather Instrument: Connects to the Gravity: Science Data Acquisition (SCI DAQ) Module, enabling real-time viewing of meteorological data without programming
• Local Weather Station: Independently deploy the Lark Weather Station for local meteorological data collection.
• Online Digital Weather Station: When combined with WiFi modules or UNIHIKER, it can effortlessly create an IoT-enabled online digital weather station.

How to Use

• Real-time Data Viewing: Connect the SCI acquisition module, which can automatically identify the Lark Weather Station. The SCI DAQ module displays the Lark Weather Station's data on the screen, turning it into a handheld weather instrument for real-time monitoring of meteorological data.
• Standalone Deployment: Connect to a 5V power source or adapter, and the Lark Weather Station will automatically commence data collection and recording. By default, it collects and stores data every 30 seconds. After collection, you can connect the weather station to a computer to export the data. The data is saved in CSV table format, allowing you to quickly plot data curves and facilitate further analysis for expeditious completion of meteorological exploration experiments.
• Integration with Controllers: Connect the Lark Weather Station module to Arduino or other controllers, enabling rapid acquisition of meteorological data through programming. With the ability to customize Arduino programs, you gain flexibility in utilizing meteorological data, providing limitless possibilities for various applications. For instance, you can connect it to controllers with WiFi capabilities, such as the UNIHIKER board, to create an online digital weather station.
