High Altitude Weather Probe Kit: Log Ascent Data with Arduino Nano

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Assemble a compact sensor pod that records temperature, pressure, humidity, and GPS coordinates as it ascends through the troposphere — surviving extreme cold and low pressure. Ideal for college projects, atmospheric research, or high-altitude photography flights.

What You'll Build

Build a data logger housed in foam insulation, ready to fly. It logs pressure, temperature, humidity, and GPS position every second to a MicroSD card, providing a vertical atmospheric profile up to 30 km. The unit fits inside a typical 600g weather balloon.

What You'll Learn

• Interface BMP280 and SHT31 over I2C for high-accuracy environmental data.
• Integrate NEO-6M GPS and parse NMEA sentences for real-time position and altitude.
• Use DS3231 RTC to timestamp readings with precise UTC, even during GPS lock delays.
• Design a LiPo-powered system with thermal insulation that withstands temperatures down to -50°C.
