Wint
For surfers and seaman it’s important to get real-time readings from their favourite surf-spot or not-official ports. Currently existing weather stations are too expensive (around 800 EUR) to leave into nature without supervising.
Low cost, stand alone (no infrastructure) wind&temperature&camera station is required
Functionality:
– Wind speed (m/s)
– Wind direction (degrees)
– Air temperature (C)
– Live picture or photos after defined sec (depends on how much is power consuption).
– Solar powered system (no infrastructure)
– Communication over 3G or 4G
Knowledge needed to team: Electronics engineer (sensors data to mobilephone, solar powering system/schematics), Programmer: Android(send data to server over 3g/4G), Programmer: server etc. (build interface to see date from http address), Mechanics/mechatronics (station must be weatherproof and wind measuring is mechanics)
