A Controller Based Networked Autonomous Weather Server

The paper describes a SBC-based weather server. Its main advantages over traditional architectures are greater flexibility, lower costs, and higher reliability in the field. By using a proper enclosure, the weather server can be operated outdoors in remote locations, and it can provide information on the main weather parameters such as wind direction average and maximum speed, atmospheric pressure momentary and maximal for the day, temperature, illumination, short term forecasts, etc., in the form of an easy to read webpage that also allows for commands to be passed to the weather server. A networked weather server operates in a distributed monitoring system, covering large geographical areas and helping forecasts with local data.
