Introduction
The Wireless Weather Sensor with GPS is a versatile instrument
with multiple sensors, including a Global Positioning System
(GPS) module. The sensor is durable and weather-resistant, and
it can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to a computing device
such as a tablet or computer using PASCO Capstone or
SPARKvue. The software supports data logging when the
instrument is not connected to a computing device. The Wireless
Weather Sensor has a rechargeable battery pack.
The sensor measures wind speed, barometric pressure, relative
humidity, ambient temperature, illuminance, UV index, solar
irradiance, solar PAR, magnetic heading, and wind direction.
The GPS module reports latitude, longitude, altitude, horizontal
velocity, and satellite count. The software can calculate dew
point, true heading, wind chill, absolute humidity, and heat stress
index.
First step: charge the battery
Charge the battery by connecting the micro USB port on the
back of the sensor to any standard USB charger. To access the
micro USB port, gently pull the tab of the flexible cover to the
right. The Battery Status LED is solid yellow while charging.
When fully charged, the light changes to solid green.
