In today's episode we'll be building and checking out the Microduino WiFi Weather StationMicroduino WiFi Weather Station. The build it yourself Microduino Weather Station reads and displays temperature, air humidity, light intensity, dangerous gas levels, and air quality levels with the PM2.5 sensor. This is displayed on the OLED Display or can be accessed wirelessly over WiFi with the use of a connected device such as a smart phone or a tablet. The kit contains everything needed to make the Microduino WiFi weather station.

 

This includes everything from the electronic hardware for the embedded processor, the Core+ module, to the various sensors.  Also included are precision laser cut enclosure pieces to house the electronic hardware. The open source code is provided and can be modified for personal customization.

 

Let us know what you think about Microduino WiFi Weather Station Kit in the comments below!

    I plan on tinkering with weather underground at some point here I know they have a lot of esp8266 weather stations on their network.  Might be something there.  Would be a great to have others around me to be able to acquire the data as even a few blocks away there is 2 degree difference in temperature I tested that out when I compared to a local wug station near me.  Its funny how much a few blocks away drastically changes the temperature they will have snow on the ground and my grass will still be green.  Joys of living in a valley. So imagine getting your weather information from a weather stations 40-60 miles away everyday how much of discrepancy that would be as they closed the weather station in town here many years ago in town to report to the government site.   The only sensor this is missing is a pm10 sensor which even some weather stations don't have that I have seen.  This kit contains all the sensors you would find on your local weather stations readings its quite impressive.  Now to build a outdoor enclosure and figure out a better wifi alternative for it will be next on the list if I can get it to post to weather underground correctly.

  • Nice walkthrough, Wesley! I like to see these little kits proliferate in the wild! Is there a larger crowdsource network that the sensors can upload to? Citizen science FTW!

    It's a great kit and makes sensor fun the fact it comes with all the sensors to get you started and for the price you can't beat it. fun fact check your local weather stations equipment bet you its running all the same things here. (have only found a few stations running a few different sensors (in Canada))  I checked my local 50 mile away station and for sure  it was only reading everything I could with this kit but was nice because I could get real time reading where it mattered outside my home and inside.

  • I agree, very cool looking little station.

  • That's a very interesting kit : ) Great presentation, it shows how easy it is to build, program and use!

    It all looks like an impressive kit for the price, and the final unit looks good too.
