INTRODUCING THE NEW ASI MINI WEATHER STATION KIT – TOP SELLER

This kit comes with everything needed to solder together your own MINI WEATHER STATION. A fun project that includes a complete Desktop Case.

The “Mini Weather station” is a new precision barometer from ASI. Using a Bosch precision pressure sensor and pressure sensing algorithms the Mini Weather station is an excellent weather alert system. Setup is as simple as entering your elevation and the Mini Weather Station does the rest. The unit provides updated predictions every 5 minutes and the unit will indicate 1 of 6 weather conditions: Storm, Precip, Cloudy, Change, Fair, or Clear. If the conditions are changing then the next LED will start blinking, letting you know which way the weather is heading! Pressing the “SELECT” Button will display the current real-time pressure reading one digit at a time in both InHg and Mb. Pressing the “SET” button will display the “Current Forecast Index” and then the “Chance of Precipitation” based on the last 60 pressure records!

Once the hourly data builds the MWS can predict the future forecast. The Forecast Index (FI) function does just that. For example, if the current condition is “Precip” but the pressure has been rising for several hours then the (FI) will be high, say 7 and the % Chance of Precipitation will be low since the unit detects that a storm is moving away. The (FI) and the % Chance of Precipitation are inversely correlated. So a low (FI) will have a high % Chance of Precipitation and a high (FI) will have a low % Chance of Precipitation. The (FI) is from 0-9 and % Chance of Precipitation is from 0% to 90%. A low (FI) forecasts bad weather and a high (FI) forecasts good weather.

Monitoring weather conditions is easy. If the pressure is rising then the (BLUE LED) will light. If the pressure is falling then the (YELLOW LED) will light. If there is a rapid increase or decrease in pressure then the rapid (RED LED) will light meaning weather changes are coming! If storm conditions are favorable then the PURPLE LED will light. Multiple notifications may happen at once. For example, it is possible for the DROP LED, RAPID LED and WARNING LED to be lit at once. This unit is sold complete with a Desktop Case. Includes upgradeable firmware for future features and updates. Microcontroller and pressure sensor come pre-calibrated as a set. This unit has some of the same technology used in our high-end DBX2 line of NIST Barometers. This unit also has Wall mount and stand options, see accessories. Requires mini USB cable and 5V USB power adapter. This kit comes complete with all parts including Desktop Case. Requires soldering! The MWS is also available as a fully tested and assembled unit. Ships Worldwide!
