Abstract: Climate change is the leading causes of natural disaster in the world. Air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and
air pressure readings are by far the best parameters that could promote early detection of climate changes. Recently, wireless network is
playing a vital role in automatic weather station and other effort relating to crating smart city [1]. Automatic weather station system is
one of the major improvements due to advancements in technology in the field of electronics communication. the number of weather
station own country, Ethiopia, is Manned weather stations and ragged to operate because of the labor power, this bring tremendous
challenges to the data reader man/weather station/ to provide quick service to the concerned metrology agency. Its proposed Design and
Implementing Automatic weather station with Wireless network system. So, this project is specifically developed to test and measure
temperature, Humidity, and air pressure by using appropriate sensors.
First the sensors are installing on mast, connect with Data logger and then Data logger is programmed. Programming was done to
read and display real time data from WSN systems. The raw data read from the sensors are converted to engineering units and stored in
the Data logger. Real-time output of data can be accomplished with a communication solution UHF/VHF radio transmission. The
transmitted Real-time data is received by gateway. Sensors data is logged into SQL server. A wireless sensor network system is configured
and integrated into weather station. Again, a LabVIEW program was made to retrieve and manipulate data.
Depend on our design it has three nodes placed on targeted location these three nodes are controlled under host controller. Finally,
install test sensor is used to analyze and check validity of AWS and WSN sensors.

I. INTRODUCTION
Ethiopia is one of esAfrica‟s in weather information richest. Its records established country before Decades. Weather stations developed from
the ancient manual stations to automatic station however communicating between stations and the Central weather station still is done
manually through telephone and depends on a human worker and that affects sometime in accuracy of readings (time it gets readings). Add on
to this methodology poor in flexibility in scheduling readings times and refreshing the readings at any time. This project is about designing
weather station that automatically connected to the center through a wireless network. Beside it gives a deep control of reading scheduling.
The weather station is designed to measure air temperature, air pressure and humidity.

An automatic weather station (AWS) is an automated version of the traditional weather station, either to save human labor or to enable
measurements from remote areas. [1] An AWS will typically consist of a weather-proof enclosure containing the data logger, rechargeable
battery, telemetry (optional) and the meteorological sensors with an attached solar panel or wind turbine and mounted upon a mast. The
specific configuration may vary due to the purpose of the system. [1] The system may report in near real time via the Argos System and the
Global Telecommunications System, [2] or save the data for later recovery. [3]
In the past, automatic weather stations were often placed where electricity and communication lines were available. Nowadays, the solar
panel, wind turbine and mobile phone technology have made it possible to have wireless stations that are not connected to the electrical grid or
hardline telecommunications network. [4]
A sensor network is a network of microcontroller integrated smart devices, called nodes, which are spatially distributed and sensors. A
sensor is a primary component of network essential for monitoring real world physical condition or variables such as temperature, humidity,
presence (absence), sound, intensity, vibration, pressure and motion. The important design and implementation requirements of a typical
sensor network are energy efficiency, memory capacity, computational speed and bandwidth. The smart device has a microcontroller, a radio
transmitter, and an energy source. Sometimes a central computer is integrated into the network in order to manage the entire networked
system. A sensor network essentially performs three basic functions: sensing, communicating and computation by using the three fundamental
components: hardware, software and algorithms, respectively. A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of nodes, sensors and a gateway.
The smart device or node has some degree of intelligence for signal processing and management of network data. (Mahalik, 2007)
This device gathers data and transmits it via wireless links to user through a gateway. The nodes can be stationary or moving. They can be
aware of their locations or not. They can be homogeneous or not. Monitoring and communication are performed cooperatively by the nodes.
The main features of WSNs are: scalability with respect to the number of nodes in the network, self-organization, self-healing, energy
efficiency, of connectivity among nodes, low complexity, low cost, and small size of nodes. (Buratti, Martalò, Verdone, & Ferrari, 2011)
Automatic weather station AWS is an application with sensors, data logger and equipment for observing weather conditions to provide
information to study weather and weather forecasting. The measurements taken include temperature, humidity, and pressure.
Problem Statement of the Project: Currently, there are a number of weather stations systems available for the metrology which can be used
only when manually near to controller. These systems are manned everywhere and difficult to address update information to the concerned
body on time. The variable measuring device is monitor and data transferred to the PC is in manually [2]. Such systems have problems in
terms of flexibility, portability, distance and time. Within hour regular monitoring of measuring device is not possible because of tedious work,
lost labor time and energy. These systems cannot cover the entire large geographical area /weather climate/ data and cannot transmit
continuously and wirelessly [1]. So, to overcome these limitations of the systems we have proposed a new system called "design and
implementing AWS with wireless network System". This system is able to transmit the weather climate parameters of provided area

continuously and over long distance wirelessly. Therefore, using the proposed system, the man/controller in metrology agency/ can attend
weather climate /nodes/ being anywhere and they can provide quick service and save a lot of time and energy

II.OBJECTIVES
II.1 General objective: The general objective of this project is to Design and Implementation of automatic weather station with wireless
sensor network system for Ethiopia (in case of metrology Agency).
II.2 Specific objectives of the project: The specific objectives of our project are:
• To develop remote weather climate temperature reading system
• To develop remote weather climate humidity reading system
• To develop remote weather climate air pressure reading system
 To display the measurements in the station. & To indicate of the system status in the station.
II.3 Significance of the project: Quick service/automated real information/ or human energy and time in manned weather station are among
well-known issues both the metrology agency and the people. This project provides the Ethiopian metrology agency and other concerned body
to maximize the quality, and breadth of service by controlling every time and everywhere. As the geographical area increases the sensor node
for services increases. Thus, the ability to maintain the quality and update information of metrology while effectively managing financial and
human resources is achieved by this project. The use of modern communication technology in this context is also the sole decisive factor that
makes such weather station and sensor node wireless communication system successful.
II.4 Scope &Limitations of the Project: As broad and remote geographical area gradually becomes a trend in wireless communication
networking, the integration of wireless sensors with global connectivity seems to be the next step in providing automatic weather station
services [9, 11]. The end-product of the project is process and transmit up to three channels of weather climate measured signals via 2.4 GHz,
IEEE 802.15.4 radio based on ZigBee technology.
It allows the transmission of data for any or all of the three most common parameters used in metrology, which are the air temperature, air
pressure and humidity. To achieve this aim, it requires an embedded RF interface between the data logger and a gateway so that the signals can
be transmitted transparently from a sensor node to a weather station/host controller/ via gateway. The data logger unit has directly-wired inputs
from sensors on the weather climate and a wireless connection to speed a gateway. Our project is limited to move dynamically a sensor node
one location to the other location.
Project Organization: This project is entitled as “design and implementing automatic weather station with wireless network” and it consists
of the following five chapters with detail description: Chapter one introduces the project. Chapter two describes the Sensor network overview
while chapter three describes system model and development. Chapters four and five explain the results and discussion, and conclusion and
recommendation of the project respectively.

III SYSTEM HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

System Hardware Development: In this section, each sensor is interfaced with the microcontroller (Arduino Uno), SD module and LCD
separately. The sensor is placed at weather outside the door bedside to measure the data. Then, the data measured is analyzed by
microcontroller. Each sensor has three pins with the input pin connected to +5V, ground pin connected to ground and output pin connected to
the microcontroller (Arduino Uno) input pin. The data pin of the transmitter modulo is connected with the Arduino Uno Tx pins and The data
pin of the receiver modulo is connected to the virtual display instead of gateway and computer . The LCD is powered up with +5V. Data bus
lines of LCD are connected to Arduino Uno output pins.
The following figures show the hardware interfacing and connection set-up.

Fig 3.3 Arduino Uno Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

The open-source Arduino Uno environment makes it easy to write code and upload it to the I/O board. It runs on Windows, Mac OSX and
Linux. The environment can be written in Java and based on Processing, avr-gcc, and other open source soft wares such as C and C++
programming language. The usage of the software is very easy once plugged, the correct port where the arduino is plugged must be selected
and the type of the arduino as well, then, upload the code on the board and read the serial output. The Arduino micro-controller boot-loader
calls the setup () function when it is started and it iterates forever over the loop () function.

LabVIEW programming:The following describes the data acquisition and presentation from sensors and integration of WSN system into
sensors. The sensors data is logged in Datalogger that must be collected in a computer and manipulated. LabVIEW has VIs which supports
serial communication.A LabVIEW program was made to display real time data of WSN sensors. The Figure 4-1 shows flowchart of program
which was built in LabVIEW.

The block diagram was made as state machine. A state machine consists a case structure inside a while loop. Case structure consists of
many cases which contain a program code or a part of program code. In the block diagram first case „Init‟ inside while loop contains the code
which initializes the serial communication. Second case „Visa Read‟ contains the code which reads the specified number of bytes from com
port connected to computer. Also, the output string is manipulated and sensor values are extracted from string and indicated on front panel.
The third case „Read WSN sensor‟ displays plots real sensors values vs real time and d sensor are logged into a server called SQL server. In
the next case „communication is closed by a VI called VISA close. Each case in case structure specifies the different states in stare machine.
Shift register carries values from one state to another. The following figure shows that when the program is run, to the next state specified in
case structure.

Data logging:Data logging is the process where information from sensing devices is stored in a device called Datalogger. This information
is used to study the systems which are monitored. Data logging is used in many systems for example a black box is used to collect flight
information which may be used latter. Data logging in weather station is important in the sense that weather condition is predicted on the basis
of collected data.

Datalogger was used to store information from weather sensors. Now the data must be downloaded and analyzed in order to know about
the information which was captured by sensors. The data can be downloaded in text files or in other format and stored in computer. These files
can be opened in spreadsheet. One solution is that data can be saved in software like SQL server. SQL is a relational database management
system (RDBMS) from Microsoft. LabVIEW is a powerful programming tool that provides among others database communication. One must
establish a connection to a database before accessing data in a table or executing a SQL query. There are different methods in order to connect
to Database. In computing, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) provides a standard software API method for using database management
systems (DBMS). (Halvorsan, 2011) Here open database connectivity (ODBC) Database Source Name (DSN) was used. ODBC connection
named „MS Project‟ was Source created Administrator‟ „ODBC Figure Data.T

We were able to see only the simulation result of the Temperature, Humidity sensor and BMP180 pressure sensor. The reason why we did not
get sensors of these parameters in the market hence, not actual measurements of Temperature, Humidity and BMP180 pressure sensor.

VII CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:

VII.1. Conclusion: From this project, we concluded that the developed system has simple structure, stable and reliable operation, high
accuracy, low power consumption, low cost, full featured function and extensive application occasion.
Thus, this can be one of the best methods for automatic weather station applications where the man/data collector can analyze the weather
condition of the climate from the remote place can they address update information to the recognized body timely. so that the human power
and time can be reduced to the larger extent.

VII.2. Recommendations: Based on the developed system, the following recommendations were made:
• Taking our project as a basic foundation, it is better for interested ones (especially in metrology agency technical experts) to design
and/or develop real-time automatic weather station system.
• As mentioned in chapter four, results and discussion section, we were unable to test temperature, humidity and bmp practically due to
unavailability of the parameter sensors in the commercial market. So, any interested engineer or technologist can do more on this matter.
