==Principle of Experiment==
+
{| class="wikitable" style="background-color:#FEF9E7;"
−
On the special plate of the Weather Station is installed with sensors with multi-parameters, including the digital temperature and humidity sensor (Microduino-Tem&Hum), the light sensor (Microduino-Light), the air quality sensor of Microduino-Air and the PM2.5 sensor (gp2y1010au0f). Each sensor is connected with Microduino-Sensorhub, whose data can be analyzed and processed by the Microduino core module, and then displayed on the OLED.  At the same time, you can connect the Microduino-Wifi and Microduino-Core together to the internet, communicating with mCotton (IOT platform) and giving feedback to users via text and graph info. You can check this data anytime and anywhere with your phones or laptops.
+
|'''Note:''' Different revisions will contain different components.

[[File:Wifistationtheory11.jpg||600px|center]]
+
Most noteable are:
 +
*Duo-V will be replaced with a Microduino-Cube-S1.
 +
*Humidity/TempSensor will be replaced with a Tem&Hum-S2.
 +
|}
  
−
This system is composed of sensors, coordinator, network adapter, OLED display, mCotton, integrated with sensor technology, network communication technology, OLED display technology and IOT technology. Sensors mainly complete the data collection of the temperature, humidity, light intensity, air quality, then the coordinator can process and analyze the collected data. Meatime, you can connect it to the internet and communicate with mCotton through the network adapter, and check these data on the mCotton.    
+
==Principle of the Experiment==
 +
This Weather Station can detect data including: 
 +
*Temperature and humidity via [[Microduino-Temp&Hum]]
 +
*Light intensity via [[Microduino-Light]]
 +
*Air quality via [[Microduino-Air Quality]]
 +
*PM2.5 via GP2Y1010AU0F

[[File:Wifistationtheory22.jpg||600px|center]]
 
  
−
*Structure of the Management Platform  
+
Other functions:
−
The platform can be divided into two parts: Microduino core control, responsible for sensors' data collection and connecting to the internet; mCotton IOT platform, responsible for displaying data to users in the way of curves so that you can check and share your surrounding weather, as follows:
+
*Use the [[Microduino-Core+]] to analyze and process sensor data.  
−
*Main sensors
+
*Display data on the [[Microduino-OLED]].
 +
*Connect the Weather Station with Blynk via [[Microduino-WIFI(ESP)]].
 +
*Each sensor connects with [[Microduino-Sensorhub]].

Outline

  • Project: Open Source WIFI Weather Station System.(ESP8266 connected to Blynk)
  • Objective: To get temperature, humidity, light intensity and PM2.5 at the weather station.
    • Note: PM2.5 refers to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) that have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Time-consuming: 2-Hour
  • Maker: Ray

Introduction:

  • Read temperature, humidity, light intensity and PM2.5 data and display those data on the screen.
  • Upload the data to Blynk.
  • View data on phone anywhere using the Blynk app.
  • Created by Microduino with Microduino components.

Principle of the Experiment

This Weather Station can detect data including:


Other functions:

Get and Configure Blynk

Next, we'll learn how Microduino interacts with Blynk through the configuration process of the Weather Station.

Download the Blynk App

Visit the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store and download the Blynk app.

You'll need to setup an account with Blynk before proceeding. Please use a valid e-mail as your authentication tokens will be sent to that e-mail.

Using the Blynk App

  • On the main screen of the Blynk app. Click on the QR code scanner to scan the Weather Station app.
Wws qr scan.png


  • Scan the QR code below.
Wws qr code.png


  • Once the project has loaded, click on Project Settings (nut icon).
Wws project settings.png


  • Under Auth Tokens, click on Email all. This will send the authentication token to your registered e-mail. Make note of this, as you will need this token later.
Wws auth token.png


  • Click back to return to the Weather Station app.

Programming

Software Setup

Please follow the guide to ensure your software is correctly setup. The software is required to program the WiFi Weather Station.

Download the latest software for your operating system and follow the getting started guides:

Windows
MicroduinoGettingStart-ForWindows.jpg
IDE Install Guide for Windows
MAC
MicroduinoGettingStart-ForMAC.jpg
IDE Install Guide for MAC

Programming the Weather Station

  • Stack Microduino-Core+ and Microduino-USBTTL together.
  • Connect Microduino-USBTTL with a USB cable. Connect the other end to the PC being used.
  • Open the Arduino IDE for Microduino development environment. (Please refer to the #Software Setup section).
  • Configure the software to upload to the Core+ module as follows:
    • Tools > Board > Microduino/mCookie-device
    • Tools > Processor > Microduino/mCookie-Core+ (644pa)@16M,5V
    • Tools > Port > select the port (On MacOS, NOT the Bluetooth one).
  • Download the code for Weather Station here: File:ESP8266BlynkWeatherStationV2.zip
  • Unzip the file. Under the software (Arduino IDE), go to File > Open... and navigate to the unzipped folder and open the ESP8266BlynkWeatherStationV2.ino file.
  • The sketch with multiple files will open. Click on the userDef.h tab. You'll need to configure the WiFi connection (2.4GHz networks, non 5GHz) with:
    • SSID
    • PASS (WiFi password)
    • auth key as noted earlier in the Blynk app sent to you via e-mail.
Wws configuration.png
  • Click on the upload button (right arrow icon on the top left) to upload the program.
  • The program will compile and upload. Once completed a upload successful message will appear on the bottom left.

Step 5

Note: Different revisions of this kit may contain different components. Either a Temp&Hum or Tem&Hum-S2 should be used. Temp&Hum is illustrated.
  • Connect the sensors below to Microduino-Sensorhub using a connector wire.
  • Refer to the picture below, stack all sensors on the slot of Structure-B1 and Structure-B2.
  • After that, connect Structure-A1 and Structure-A2 at the top and bottom of the system respectively.

Step 6

  • Complete the steps above, plug in a USB cable then fixate Structure-B0. Congratulations! You finished the buildup of the Weather Station.

Step 7

  • Power on the Weather Station.
  • The Weather Station will connect to the WiFi network. This may take a minute or so.
  • After connecting, the OLED screen will display the sensor data.
  • If the data does not display, check the serial port in the IDE. It should display debugging information.

Step 8

  • If the Weather Station successfully connect to the WiFi network. You can now view the data on the Blynk Phone app.
    • WiFi Weather Station successfully connected to the WiFi network.
