- | Quiero ver si es viable construir una estación meteorológica que cuente con estos requisitos: | + | I want to make a digital anemometer with raspberry pi zero. The idea is to left the device in the wild and this device must send back to me reads of wind velocity and direction remotely vía cell modem. |
- | - medias de presión, humedad, temperatura y dirección y velocidad del viento | + | In other words, the device must have: |

- | - solar-powered, | + | |
- | - que transmita los datos a través de internet | + | |
- | Para ello he pensado utilizar los siguientes elementos: | + | - Solar panels and a battery: the device must be self-powered |
+ | - Some kind of power management: to stabilize the power of the battery and adapt it to the raspi and to the modem | ||
+ | - A hsdpa modem: to provide internet connectivity | ||
+ | - Some SBC: raspberry pi zero is a great candidate | ||

- | **Total: más de 200 euros** | + | I need to guess how much power the raspberry pi plus the modem will consume. |

+ | The approximate consumption of this set is 240ma. For powering it, I've think that the [[https:// | ||
+ | enough power for it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For the batteries, the circuit can have NiMH batteries or lipo batteries. I've think that NiMH batteries are | ||
+ | cheaper and safer, so I decided to use them. Aproximately 7.200 mah will keep the weather up and running | ||
