I'm in brodas

I have done some work with MCs: PIC and arduino board! I have also used atmega328 as a standalone module (it is the MC used in arduino). My main work has been in the construction of weather station, something to sense, process and record weather elements. But my main problem now is that I need a computer application that could connect with my weather station, take data from the station and do some processing on it and then get the processed data stored on my computer, in my specified format!
I know what I want now has gone beyond an embedded electronics into the realm of software development, but any suggestion will be appreciated!

From your description, it seems your whether sensor hardware does not save its data even though you used the word 'record'.

The only approach here is you need the hardware to save its data. A small microSD would do. The way you retrieve the data is now your choice, either by push or pull (over a network)

I could and I have saved data on the microSD directly from the constructed weather station! What I am saying now is to have the weather station connect to the computer, either through wire or wireless, and then have a PC application access

the weather station through the computer and then process the data for onward permanent storage on the PC.

How is the whether station connected to the PC and is it permanently or just when data is needed?

If you want it automated, then you need to include a wireless module to send the file to the PC. Then your program can work on the file

I think what sinkhole is asking for is a window application or GUI that can communicate between his PC and the weather station. You can achieve that with different software such as C#, wpf, etc.

Thanks, you perfectly got my drift! Infact, what I want is a GUI based window application that could display some graphics of the data, such as line graphs, bar chats, wind direction, etc

this is very easy with arduino and processing programming language. what you need is graphical display of captured data from the weather workstation via USB to pc or remotely using rf module or xbee module or Bluetooth module connected to arduino.

Thanks too, your comment also help, even though you did not actually solve the problem @princejude in his princely way seemed to have a solution for now! I googled the wpf suggested by princejude and found that it could do the GUI very well with the C# providing the "behind coding" that could be used to access the weather station through the USB. Unless there is a better package, princejude have the solution for now!

if you have designed your hardware using atmega micro or arduino what you need to design the GUI application is the processing software .if you're a good software programmer you can go the way of Prince Jude by using c++,c#etc but if you're not it will take you weeks if not months to accomplish this simple task. with processing software it will take just two hrs. I've done something similar to this your project before, so I'm speaking from past experience. if you are still confuse type processing in Google or download "make things talk"

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Initially developed to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing also has evolved into a tool for generating finished professional work. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production. processing is very easy to learn.

Oh, I see, thanks a million, Im not a software person at all and I think I will try to explore your suggestion too as it seems simpler! I couldnt just get what you meant by "processing software" before.
Thanks

Hello. I visit jutronix.com alot of times because I have been looking for some things I might order VERY SOON.


It seems you have abandoned the site. Oh well!! Thats BTW.




Please, I need a display. . . . 128*64 OLED that uses I2C and SSD1306 driver chip (which isn't on your site). Do you have??



I am trying to make a smartwatch & with time, make it in LARGE QUANTITIES. . . . Do you have the specific display? Or an OLED '.96 display? Strictly OLED? Thanks. . . Anticipate answers ASAP

128*64 OLED that uses I2C and SSD1306 driver chip is N3000

Not in stock now but will be available next week.
How many pieces you want to buy ?

Thanks for visiting our site, we did not abandoned the site but we are trying to re-organize it.

128*64 OLED that uses I2C and SSD1306 driver chip is N4500

Hello.



Sorry for not replying for some time now. . . I actually was discouraged about the price. .



#4,500 for a screen?? Ha!! Thats . . . Terrifying. . . . . . Okay, since I look up to you as my ELECTRONICS TEACHER, do you have any OLED display cheaper than that? If so, what display driver software do I use?




I intend to make it in large quantities after making one & showing it to people . . . . But. . . ARDUINO-#2,000 . . Display :- #4500, Bluetooth module. . . . Battery. . . . 3D printed case. . . We are looking at like :- 13,000 for one!! C'mon!! Which student would want to shell out such amount on a WATCH??




Please, I need your advice. . . . Or simply give me your whatsapp number, I'd holla. .



By the way, how much is your Bluetooth module?

The OLED display is now N3000 (not N4500) Bluetooth (HC-05 or HC-06) is N2500 Arduino nano without usb cable is N2000 and with usb cable is N2300.

Search for any component in our online store to check there price.

What type of WATCH do you want to design? When the product is ready please reserve one for me. I will like to be your first customer.

You can whatsup or call me at 08030674883

Also remember that those prices are the unit price. If you want to buy in large quantity the price may reduce up to 30% or 40% discount depending on the quantity you want.

Hello sir. . . . I plan to make a smartwatch that synchronizes with a smartphone using Bluetooth. . . It sends infos like :-

1. Charging status

2. RSS feeds :- for weather

3. Missed calls & messages

4. E-mail messages

5. Date & Time :- Definitely. . . I am thinking if I alter the source code, use an extremely compressed png/ jpeg picture as the customer wants (memory is a challenge here, as Arduino nano has :- 1KB RAM (3.3V). ). I am just thinking. I haven't started, cannot say its possible (looks impossible self )

6. Battery & connectivity status & other possible stuffs as development goes on. . . . Actually, I saw it online, but I will HEAVILY MODIFY IT

I am planning to write battery conserving program. E.g :- probably tells the arduino to Sleep till it recieves a new notification. . . Or when the Bluetooth connection with Phone is lost (or phone shut down), it goes off, . . . Again, I haven't started, no money. . . Also, MEMORY is a b1tch. . .


I tried your number, it isn't on whatsapp . . . . Sorry, My call tarriff is high, couldn't call cos we have alot to talk about. I need your guidance. . .


Can you give me your whatsapp number?

My Number is on whatsapp. Maybe I was offline by then. You can drop your Number here so that I add you to my whatsapp contact.

Market dey experience good change

Please guys I'm a final year mechatronics engineering student and I'm required to do a project on development of a pollution monitoring control system...sincerely, I have no idea whatsoever and I would appreciate if someone kindly puts me through the components I would require for this kind of project, the breakdown of d cost of these components and where to buy them from...God bless you all...

Pollution Monitoring? What type of pollution ?

hello guys, am an electrical engr. Pls i wt 2 go into embedded system, i wil appreciate if i get a mentor hia. Thks

arduino:

This thread and other related threads will guide you through the world of embedded systems

ok, thankz plss hw do i get started.
