Weather Station Project

This is a Weather Station Engineering project completed by my team and I for an Instrumentation & Measurements class in 2009.

The challenge here was to make a PVC pipe weather station to measure temperature, humidity, wind speed and wind direction.

We created our own electronics board as well as anemometer and wind direction indicator

Data acquisition was handled by an NI DaQ and a LabVIEW VI. I was responsible for mainly the LabVIEW VI and overall construction of the weather station

The previous year we got slammed by harsh weather that disabled most of the previous class weather stations. So we had a big focus on protection from the elements with our roof. It turned out to be unnecessary and somewhat of a hindrance since we didn't get much snow, but got a lot of wind!
