LOW COST METEOROLOGICAL STATION AS A INSTRUMENT OF INTERDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE AT COLÉGIO ESTADUAL OTACÍLIO MOTA IN IPUEIRAS-CE

Abstract

This project is based on the development of a low cost weather station as an interdisciplinary instrument in high school at the Otacílio Mota State College. For the construction of the instrument, several recycled materials were required, as well as sensors for automatic data collection. All information transfer took place without the help of man, through a network connected to a laptop computer. The overall objective of the project was achieved, where we obtained the implementation of a Low Cost Meteorological Station, with measurements of temperature, air humidity and wind speed, for pedagogical use in high school. The Arduino platform was used, with also a software for automatic reading of the data obtained by the sensors, making the whole prototype structure fully functional.
