Common hardware components Common hardware components Humidity Sensor
– There are several devices used to measure relative humidity.
- A stable design using hygrometer HS1101 with a TLC-
555 timer .- RH = 565.1− 0.0767 f
RH : Relative Humidity

DifficultiesDifficulties
pressure sensor is difficult to obtain. Fault tolerance and nature of sensors adds
complexity to hardware and software . wireless. Low output frequency of the anemometer .
Conclusion & recommendationConclusion & recommendation Hardware and software are integrated to solve
the problem. Parallel implementation of designed
components allows problems to surface early in the process.less
wireless system used in the station is professional for long distances without data losses .
system is ready to be used by another students to complete building a whole weather station .
