The electronic device will have inside a GPS locator so as to know the exact position of the analog readings of the different sensors. The whole device'll work thanks to Arduino/Genuino MKR1000. Type, in the address bar, the following IP: 192.168.1.The project consists of a kit for drones that includes an electronic device that functions as a meteorological station used for monitoring the values of environmental temperature, of atmospheric pressure and of humidity. Connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot "WeatherStation" through a device.ģ.

Switch serves to select whether to show Data from the sensors and GPS on a HTML page via a Smatphone, Tablet or PC with WiFi, or decide to write data to SD.īy setting the switch to HIGH you can see the sensor data and GPS via web page by following these steps:ġ.

The Serial Monitor is also useful for debugging purposes.

In any case, to identify the problem more quickly you can connect the MKR1000 board to the PC via USB, and open the Serial Monitor present to Arduino IDE.

In the event that you were to turn on the Red LED, I suggest you check the connections. The Red LED indicates an error of communication of sensors and microSD with Arduino. During this phase the Yellow LED will remain lit until the button will come pressed again in order to stop the writing on SD. Once the GPS will have captured the satellite you will notice the ignition of Green LED.Īfter that, if all went well, you must press the button to create the KML files and start writing data to SD. The MKR1000 board can be powered via USB or through a Lipo battery 3.7V and 700mAh minimum.Īfter having powered the whole project must wait the GPS signal. On GitHub you will find the sketch ( WeatherStation_v1.0.ino ) to upload on Arduino/Genuine MKR1000.
#Drone station project software
Here the schematic to follow to assemble the entire project:Īfter you have made all the connections, I recommend downloading the entire software part of my repository on GitHub and copy the libraries in Documents/Arduino/libraries/.

In addition to the meteorological data, the device can acquire altitude, geographical coordinates and the speed of the drone in m/s. They can be monitored in real time via Wi-Fi hotspot using a Smatphone, Tablet or PC. The values acquired will be preserved in a KML files on a microSD and you can view them with Google Earth or Google Maps by simply importing the KML file. The project consists of a kit for drones that includes an electronic device that functions as a meteorological station used for monitoring the values of environmental temperature, of atmospheric pressure and of humidity.
