Abstract
The popularity of weather sensors has encouraged the advance of campus weather station, which helps to automatically or manually measure temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, pressure, solar radiation and soil temperatures. Technology rich classroom, as the most important smart learning environment, need the weather data from campus weather station to provide comfortable environment. Most of weather monitoring systems (WMS) are implemented with high-cost sensing devices for detecting weather data of schools or colleges. In this study, we proposed a WMS which uses Raspberry Pi and weather Sensor to support weather monitoring. This system is a low-cost portable weather data collection system which allows collecting, storing and transmitting data.
