# Weather Monitoring App with SPL06-007
This project provides a real-time weather monitoring application using the SPL06-007 sensor and an Arduino board.
The sensor data (temperature, pressure, altitude) is read by the Arduino and sent over a serial connection to a Python GUI application,
which displays the data in a dashboard format.
## Author
This project was created by **Halit Osman Efkere**.
## Features
- **Temperature Monitoring**: Real-time display of ambient temperature.
- **Pressure Monitoring**: Real-time display of atmospheric pressure.
- **Altitude Monitoring**: Calculate and display altitude based on pressure data.
- **Atmosphere Layer Detection**: Determine the atmospheric layer based on altitude.
- **Weather Estimation**: Basic weather estimation based on pressure trends.
- **Energy Efficient**: Designed with a dark theme for low energy consumption.
## Sensor and Hardware Setup
Below is an image showing the SPL06-007 sensor connected to the Arduino:
## Requirements
### Hardware
- Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
- SPL06-007 sensor module
- USB cable for Arduino
### Software
- Arduino IDE (for uploading code to the Arduino)
- Python 3.x
- PySerial (Python library for serial communication)
- Tkinter (Python standard GUI library)
- PyInstaller (for creating executable files)
## Sensor Connections
To connect the SPL06-007 sensor to the Arduino, use the following pin connections:
- **3.3V**: Connect to the 3.3V pin on the Arduino.
- **GND**: Connect to a GND pin on the Arduino.
- **SDA**: Connect to the SDA (A4 on most Arduino boards like Uno).
- **SCL**: Connect to the SCL (A5 on most Arduino boards like Uno).
Ensure that the connections are secure and that the sensor is oriented correctly.
## Installation
1. **Arduino Setup**:
- Open the Arduino IDE and upload the `weather_monitoring.ino` file located in the `arduino_code` folder to your Arduino board.
2. **Python Environment**:
- Install Python 3.x from [python.org](https://www.python.org).
- Install the required Python libraries:
```bash
pip install pyserial
```
3. **Run the Python Script**:
- Run `weather_monitoring.py` located in the `python_code` folder to start the GUI application.
4. **Create Executable (Optional)**:
- To create a standalone executable, run:
```bash
pyinstaller --onefile --windowed weather_monitoring.py
```
## Usage
1. **Flash the Arduino with the Provided Code**:
- Open the Arduino IDE on your computer.
- Connect your Arduino board to your computer using a USB cable.
- Open the `weather_monitoring.ino` file located in the `arduino_code` folder.
- Select the correct board type and port under `Tools` in the Arduino IDE.
- Click the **Upload** button to flash the Arduino with the code.
2. **Connect the SPL06-007 Sensor to the Arduino Using I2C**:
- Ensure the SPL06-007 sensor is properly connected to the Arduino's I2C pins (SDA and SCL).
3. **Run the Arduino Code**:
- Once the code is uploaded, the Arduino will start executing it immediately.
It will read data from the SPL06-007 sensor and send the data over the serial port to your computer.
4. **Run the Python Application**:
- Open a terminal or command prompt in the `python_code` directory.
- Run the Python script `weather_monitoring.py` to launch the GUI application.
- The application will display the sensor data in real-time as it is received from the Arduino.
