Launch a Weather Balloon Payload That Logs Pressure, Temperature, and GPS Altitude with Arduino - Weather Forecast Pressure Kit v2

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

With this kit, you'll build a fully functional weather balloon payload that continuously logs atmospheric pressure, temperature, and GPS coordinates during ascent. The custom thermal foam housing ensures reliable operation at high altitudes, and the AI companion guides you through assembly and calibration, making it accessible even for advanced learners. By the time your balloon returns to Earth, you'll have a rich dataset ready for analysis.

What You'll Build

A compact, battery-powered data logger enclosed in a thermal foam capsule that can withstand the temperature extremes of a high-altitude balloon flight. You'll have a system that records pressure, temperature, altitude, and GPS timestamped data onto a microSD card, giving you a complete vertical profile of the atmosphere that you can later plot and analyze.

What You'll Learn

• Integrate multiple I2C/SPI sensors (BMP280, SHT31) with an Arduino Nano.
• Implement GPS parsing and synchronization (NEO-6M and DS3231 RTC).
• Log sensor data to a microSD card in CSV format for analysis.
• Design a rugged, insulated payload enclosure for environmental extremes.
