LoRa Weather Station Kit with GPS & Arduino - Compoden
Build a Long-Range LoRa Weather Station with Arduino - Complete Sensor Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Create your own professional-grade weather monitoring node that tracks humidity, atmospheric pressure, temperature, and GPS location-then streams that data over kilometers using long-range LoRa radio. Perfect for agricultural microclimate studies, smart city environmental grids, or remote terrain research.
What You'll Build
A battery-powered, GPS-tagged weather station that autonomously reads high-accuracy SHT31 and BMP280 sensors, compensates for tilt with the MPU6050 accelerometer, and transmits the data packet via LoRa every second. Deploy it in a field, rooftop, or unmanned station and receive live telemetry on your base unit.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing multiple I2C sensors with Arduino Nano
- Implementing LoRa point-to-point communication using the RA-02 module
- Parsing NMEA sentences from the NEO-6M GPS for location tagging
- Designing a low-power circuit with TP4056 lithium-ion charging and noise-filtering capacitors

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is built for engineers, researchers, and B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling environmental monitoring projects, Smart India Hackathon challenges, or IoT-based agricultural solutions. If you're prototyping a LoRaWAN sensor network or need a reliable station for your final-year project, every component here is matched for real-world deployment.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to chat with your AI build companion trained on this exact project; if you need human help, WhatsApp our team with a photo of your board - we'll diagnose it.
What range can I expect from the LoRa module?
In open air with line-of-sight, the RA-02 reliably transmits over 2-3 km using the included 433 MHz antenna. In urban environments with obstacles, expect 500-800 meters. The AI companion will guide you to optimize antenna placement.
Do I need a second LoRa module to receive the data?
Yes, this kit sends weather data from the sensor node. You'll need a separate LoRa receiver (another RA-02 or development board with LoRa) to capture and display the data. The AI companion includes wiring and code for receiver setup.
Can I permanently deploy this weather station outdoors?
The foam enclosure provides basic protection, but for permanent outdoor use, we recommend sealing the electronics in a weatherproof box (not included) and adding a solar charging panel. The 1000mAh LiPo battery lasts approximately 8-10 hours with continuous transmission; the TP4056 allows safe recharging.
Weather - Reads SHT31 humidity, BMP280 pressure, NEO-6M GPS and accelerometer every second. Transmits over LoRa.
