Self contained weather station that stores data that I can physically retrieve

Projects General Guidance
1

I bought a lot and will build on it in a year or so. In the meantime I'd like to gather the following information on it.

  1. Wind Speed
  2. Wind Direction
  3. Humidity
  4. Sunlight
  5. Rainfall
  6. Particle count
  7. Temperature
  8. Time

The land does not have power or any feasible internet connection either lan, wireless, or cell. I will visit the land at least once a month and would then download the data. Either through a sd card or a usb connection to my laptop.

i anticipate a solar panel to keep the battery charged

I see that the real time clock is available along with all of the sensors to do the above.

My question is, can the arduino handle this? And if so HOW???

Regards

Andrew

Yes, Arduino can do all that. Popular project!

The easiest way to permanently and safely store large amounts of data is with the Sparkfun OpenLog, which writes to micro SD cards.

Just use Serial.print() to talk to it.

You can send data wirelessly without visiting the land. The best solution is to send data over Lora network. Or you can send data over WiFi/Ethernet if the internet is available. There are many options to use WiFi/Ethernet.
