Low cost climate station for urban heat island characterisation and outdoor thermal perception
Description
This repository is made up of for the construction of a station for a low-cost climate station should include the following components: 1. 3D parts to print This component of the repository should include all the 3D parts necessary to build the climate station. It should include files in STL or other suitable 3D file formats that can be printed using a 3D printer. The files should be named appropriately to make it easy for users to identify and print the different components of the climate station. 2. The Arduino code This component of the repository should include the Arduino code necessary to run the climate station. The code should be well-documented, clearly written, and easy to understand. It should include comments to explain what each part of the code does and how it interacts with the different components of the climate station. The code should be stored in a separate file and named appropriately. 3. Operations instructions This component of the repository should include detailed instructions on how to operate and maintain the climate station. It should include step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the different components of the climate station and how to install them in the appropriate location. The instructions should also include troubleshooting tips, maintenance requirements, and safety precautions.

Steps to reproduce
Preliminary Step : Print all the 3D parts Step 1: Connect the DHT22 Sensor • Connect the DHT22 sensor to the Arduino board. The sensor has three pins - VCC, GND, and DATA. • Connect the VCC pin of the sensor to the 5V pin of the Arduino. • Connect the GND pin of the sensor to the GND pin of the Arduino. • Connect the DATA pin of the sensor to any digital pin of the Arduino. Step 2: Connect the TSL2591 Sensor • Connect the TSL2591 sensor to the Arduino board. The sensor has four pins - VCC, GND, SDA, and SCL. • Connect the VCC pin of the sensor to the 5V pin of the Arduino. • Connect the GND pin of the sensor to the GND pin of the Arduino. • Connect the SDA pin of the sensor to the A4 pin of the Arduino. 9 • Connect the SCL pin of the sensor to the A5 pin of the Arduino. Step 3: Connect the Anemometer • Connect the anemometer to the Arduino board. The anemometer has three wires - VCC, GND, and SIGNAL. • Connect the VCC pin of the anemometer to the 5V pin of the Arduino. • Connect the GND pin of the anemometer to the GND pin of the Arduino. • Connect the SIGNAL pin of the anemometer to any digital pin of the Arduino. Step 4: Connect the Data Logging Shield • Connect the data logging shield to the Arduino board. • Make sure the SD card is properly inserted into the data logging shield. Step 5: Connect the SX1308 • Connect the SX1308 to the Arduino board. The SX1308 is a voltage booster module that will be used to boost the voltage output from the solar panels to charge the battery. • Connect the VIN pin of the SX1308 to the positive terminal of one of the solar panels. • Connect the GND pin of the SX1308 to the negative terminal of the same solar panel. • • Connect the VOUT pin of the SX1308 to the positive terminal of the battery. • Connect the GND pin of the SX1308 to the negative terminal of the battery. Step 6: Connect the TP4056 • Connect the TP4056 to the battery. The TP4056 is a charging module that will be used to charge the battery from the solar panels. • Connect the OUT+ pin of the TP4056 to the positive terminal of the battery. • Connect the OUT- pin of the TP4056 to the negative terminal of the battery. • Connect the IN+ pin of the TP4056 to the positive terminal of the other solar panel. • Connect the IN- pin of the TP4056 to the negative terminal of the other solar panel. Step 7: Upload the Code • Write a code to read the data from the sensors and log it to the SD card using the data logging shield. • Upload the code to the Arduino board. Step 8: Install the Climate Station • Install the sensors and anemometer in a suitable location where they can accurately measure the temper- ature, humidity, and wind speed. • Mount the solar panels and battery on the solar panel support (2) • Mount the DHT22 in the solarradiationshading • Start recording data on the SD card
