Inspiration
Nowadays, the need to get real-time information about local environmental parameters is very important. With this project, I provide this information in a simple way to all people who want to be informed about the weather situation in a regular way. In this work, I realized a weather station that measures some existing physical phenomena.
What it does
This station will be connected to the LabVIEW interface. Overall, the station includes 2 sensors a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. An acquisition card based on Arduino UNO is to process the data measured from these sensors and transfers it to LabVIEW. My experimental project consists in realizing a real-time measurement system of these physical quantities. The data are processed in the Arduino UNO based processing and control unit, in order to transfer them to LabVIEW using LINX (LINX is an open-source project from Digilent and is designed to facilitate the development of embedded applications using LabVIEW).
How we built it
*Using Canva, Figma, and Adobe XD for the graphics. *Using LabVIEW to visualize sensor data. *Using Arduino and C++ to accomplish the project.
Challenges we ran into
The difficulties I faced are focused on Hardware, specifically the sensors. At first, I worked with a LM35 temperature sensor, unfortunately, it gave me unstable and non-logical values. Secondly, I used another sensor "thermocouple type k" which needs an adapter (MAX6675 Module) to connect to the Arduino board which I could not find.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learn how to integrate the Labview interface and Arduino and a lot of skills.
What's next for LabArd
More Sensors, More Data!
