About the Automatic weather station PCB

Automatic weather station is an open source PCB design by cryologger, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 133.4 × 79.4 mm, with 18 components from 16 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the RockBLOCK_Footprint, Adafruit_BME280, Pololu_D36V6x, Adafruit_LSM303AGR and Pololu_U3V40Fx. By type, the board carries 7 ICs, 4 connectors, 2 modules, 2 resistors, 1 transistor and 1 jumper.

It belongs with the rf & radio, power & battery and sensors designs in this gallery.

From the project

A low-cost automatic weather station based on the open-source Arduino platform.

The Cryologger Automatic Weather Station (AWS), is an open-source datalogger and telemeter comprised of low-cost, off the shelf components that is capable of supporting the physical measurement needs of a variety of cryospheric scientific applications when configured as an automatic weather station (AWS).

Planned for extended deployments in harsh Arctic conditions, the Cryologger AWS provides long-term measurements of weather variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, solar irradiance and snow depth, as well as system diagnostic variables including pitch, roll…
