GEMINI Weather Station Usage
Uploading RH_Temp_Logger
- The file RH_Temp_Logger.ino is used to operate the weather station and must be uploaded to the Arduino before use.
- Install the Arduino IDE software and open RH_Temp_Logger.ino in the IDE.
- In the built-in library manager, search for and install: SD, RTClib, DHT sensor library, MAX6675 library, and MAX6675 with hardware SPI.
- Connect the Arduino's USB cable to the computer and select the correct board / port in the IDE.
- Click "Upload" (Ctrl+U) to upload the sketch to the Arduino. The station is now ready for use with the GEMINI sensing app.
- To verify everything is working properly, the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE can be used.
General Usage
- Connect the USB cable from the Arduino to a 5V power supply.
- To update the weather station's RTC clock (GMT-0 time zone), turn on the GEMINI app prior to powering the weather station.
- Depending on your use case, you may either place the weather station in the field to take measurements or attach the unit to the rover.
- Data from the weather station is stored in the SD Card on the datalogger. The data is logged in a CSV format in a file titled YYYYMMDD.CSV based on the current date.
