Update: In the past 3 months, we made a weather station and recorded the weather data in Shenzhen, check the video to see the result.
This Makerfabs Wind Station enables the users to monitor multiple weather specs remotely, with GPRS communication and Server such as MQTT.
The real-time weather or long-run weather data is important for movements such as surfing, or in Meteorological Research. This wind station measures the outdoor humidity/ temperature/ atmospheric pressure/ wind speed, (and any other meteorological data depends on expanded sensors), and transmits the results remotely to the server for recording/ analyzing, or to the phones for real-time checking.
Besides, this wind station also integrates some other important features, which make it a suitable platform for further applications.
