Weather station at Curdridge, SO30, UK

Archive: The weather station has been offline for years and we are no longer collecting or displaying live data.

The weather station at the Curdridge Observatory was a homemade project built around an Arduino microcontroller.

How it worked

• A Dallas 1-wire probe measured the outdoor temperature.
• A BMP085 sensor measured atmospheric pressure, with the readings adjusted to sea level.
• An Ethernet interface sent the Arduino's readings to the website.
• The readings were stored in a MySQL database and displayed as graphs using PHP and Google Charts. The charts included dome temperature, outdoor temperature and pressure.
