The Weather Station

[Puggs]

Hi

Last year i saw a kit for a Weather Station that used ultrasonics to find the direction and speed of the wind, this kit was based on one of the PIC Microcontrollers, and used serial to comunicate with a computer, it had a basic charactor LCD screen and messured a few other things.

What i want to do is build something along the lines that will use USB to communicate with the computer, have some memory to store information for later download and use a Graphics/Colour LCD to display information in real time.

The software should run under windows or linux and should be able to create web pages for remote viewing. I could also write a Java client that is network enabled.

For now, i'm just experamenting with the K8055 to see what i can test.

More on this later.
