FPGA Based Meteorological Monitoring Station

Abstract

In this paper, we propose to implement a meteorological monitoring station using embedded systems. This model is possible thanks to different sensors that enable us to measure several environmental parameters, such as i) relative humidity, ii) average ambient temperature, iii) soil humidity, iv) rain occurrence, and v) light intensity. The proposed system is based on a field-programmable gate array device (FPGA). The proposed design aims at ensuring high-resolution data acquisition and at predicting samples with precision and accuracy in real-time. To present the collected data, we develop also a web application with a simple and friendly user interface.
