Mini Meteo Station with Arduino Nano

I finished a complex project, a mini Meteo Station based on Arduino Nano.

On a 4x20 I2C LCD I can see the date, time, inside and outside temperature, relative humidity and air pressure (in hPa).


Main features are:
    -Low footprint
    -Precise Date and Time with a DS1307 RTC circuit
    -Humidity with a DHT-11 sensor
    -Baro pressure and interior temperature with a BMP-085
    -External temperature with a DS-18B20
    -Low power (40 mA from one Li-Ion cell with a DC-DC converter with LCD Backlight on, 30 mA).
    -LCD Backlight on demand by push button

Took me about 2 days but I made it!

I intend to make some averages and to compare the pressure over an variable inteval tohave a weather prediction.





Here is the code:

O mica statie meteo bazata pe un Arduino Nano si un afisaj LCD 4x20 conectat pe I2C.
Un exercitiu util pentru invatarea modului in care se apeleaza din rutina principala subrutine secundare. Un fel de GOSUB de pe vremuri!

Hi (hola)!
Can I make a meteo (weather) station with Arduino Pro Mini clone 328 - 5V, 16MHz? Or a it is required Nano or higher Arduino for such task?
Thank you!

Adrian (YO3HJV) spunea...

Yes you can do it with any Arduino version. It is not a complicated task even for a, let's say, 4 MHz or less uC.

Hello

could you post the wiring diagram

Andreas

YO3HJV, Adrian spunea...

Hi Andreas. Please check the first lines in the programm. You will find how .all is connected. I2C is default, A4-SDA and A5-SCL. You dont need an explicit schematic if you read the comments in the programm! If you still don't get it, come back amd ask.
Regards, Adrian.

Hello,
when compiling I noticed that you use a different library for the BMP085, you have written your own BMP085 library and renamed it in Barometer.h.

greeting
Andreas

Hello! She writes to LCD.h no such file or directory me. What is being done?

YO3HJV, Adrian spunea...

Hi Miroslav, you have to install a I2C LCD library. I don't remember which LCD library I had at that time but you can install one from here: https://www.arduinolibraries.info/libraries/liquid-crystal-i2-c
or here:
https://github.com/fdebrabander/Arduino-LiquidCrystal-I2C-library
It may need some minor modifications in the code.
First stept, install the library, connect I2C LCD and try to run the example "Hello World". After that, you may continue with the rest of the hardware then use the code from example to modify the code from this page. There will be some minor modifications, good to learn about Arduino!

Please free to ask.
Regards,
Adrian
