Abstract:

Designing a low-cost weather station requires careful consideration of the selection of sensors used. The use of inappropriate or poorly calibrated sensors can result in inaccurate data acquisition, which ultimately affects the quality of weather observations. This paper conducts a literature study related to sensors that are often used in low-cost weather stations. Based on the study results, the most frequently monitored quantities are temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. To demonstrate the calibration analysis of weather sensors, tests were conducted on the BME280 sensor, which is widely used to measure these three parameters. This test was conducted at a meteorological calibration laboratory that has been certified by the National Accreditation Committee (KAN). The test was carried out by building a sensor node equipped with a reference sensor, so that the test could be carried out simultaneously and at the same time. This aims to ensure that the BME280 sensor readings can be compared directly with the calibrated reference sensor, so that the accuracy and precision of the sensor can be evaluated more comprehensively. In this test, the BME280 sensor was tested before and after adjustment. The initial calibration results showed a deviation in pressure and temperature readings that exceeded the specified tolerance limits. After the adjustment process, the BME280 sensor showed a significant improvement in accuracy, with readings that were more consistent and closer to recognized measurement standards.
