Exploring the Mysteries of Meteorology: The Collision of Meteorological Science and IoT Technology

Global warming is a significant issue facing the world today, having profound effects on the environment and human beings. This article will guide you to explore the changes in temperature and humidity in meteorology and, through an interesting DIY project, allow you to experience the innovation and practice in this field firsthand.

Technology

 

Project Overview

 

We'll create an interesting and intelligent meteorological observation system based on the micro:bit V2 and IOT:bit expansion board. The system will place sensors on a small house built with basswood boards, enabling you to visually inspect observation data and changes.


To ensure the accuracy of observations, we've integrated a temperature and humidity sensor with an OLED display. By recording data under different temperature and humidity conditions and using the OLED display to locally show the data, you can understand the impact of temperature and humidity on the human body.


Moreover, with a graphical programming platform, you can easily learn and write programs to intelligently observe the effects of temperature and humidity on the environment. You can also upload the data to an IoT platform for in-depth data analysis and share your results with others, further enhancing your understanding of intelligent meteorological observation technology.
