A few months ago I came across a fun project: I wanted to publish information on the climate of Huigra Viejo Camping - a camping site located in the Andes of Ecuador on the Web. The idea was that the interested tourist could consult the weather conditions in real time, through the site huigra.com<\/a>, and incidentally, as an extra feature, check the weather forecast for the days you planned to book your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem was that all the weather forecast providers like weather.com or forecast.io were giving me data that was far from the truth. The reason: apparently the temperature gradient in the area is very steep and the climate varies greatly from one location to another very close (less than 1 km away), making it difficult to extrapolate data from nearby monitoring stations or satellite information \u2026 Well, the camping site is precisely on the steep side of a mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution? Take the temperature in-situ with some hardware and then report it in some way on the website in question. An ideal opportunity to play with the Arduino MKR1000, because thanks to its WIFI support, it will allow us to transmit data to the Internet, through a wireless router. If the reader does not get the Arduino MKR1000 <\/strong>you can also try with the Arduino UNO WiFi<\/strong>, I leave links to both options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
