See pics of my weather station. Still in the build stage but almost ready for final paint and assembly.
I have 2 apc220 wireless transceivers on the way to make it wireless. Im using the parallax excel sheet to capture the serial data and write it to the spread sheet every 10 min. Fantastic program btw.
So ultimately I would like to look at my website on my phone and see the data. I see where excel can "replenish" to a website but this isnt necessarily autonomous.
Does anyone know of a way to send this spread sheet to the website automatically on a time period?
An Ethernet shield can be used to make your Arduino function as a website. It doesn't have enough memory for pictures and complex stuff but it can make the basic data available within your local network.
With an Ethernet shield you can also have the Arduino send data to a website. I think Sparkfun has a data service which works well for this kind of stuff. You can also send your data to Wunderground, which will give you a personal weather station web page.
Update is way too fast for a weather station. Try something with minute periods maybe? If you want to log data and display them on a phone (assuming when you are away from the logger), you either need to expose your home/office network to the outside, or post data to external websites. I prefer the latter.
Check out data.sparkfun.com you can easily post data to their free stream and have another website host a dashboard code to extract data from sparkfun and use google graph etc to plot. You can even save the webpage on your phone without needing to visit a website (oh, right, they call that an app, what fancy new idea?!).
You do need a means to get your data to sparkfun. Ethernet shields on ebay cost $10 or less though. Otherwise go with a bluetooth module and use your PC to send the GET or POST request using cURL software.
