II. PROPOSED SYSTEM

 Raspberry pi is a Latest Wireless Technology

The raspberry pi board is a single board integrated
with multiple features. It facilitates various solutions for
network communication & consumes less power giving
faster performance. The raspberry pi board has various
features embedded in it like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ports for
networking purposes etc.

Fig 1:- Raspberry pi Board  It is integrated with various ports such as USB, HDMI,
GPIO, Micro –SD Slot, audio jack for various
connectivity purposes.
The proposed system will determine and store the
values of various weather parameters such as temperature,
pressure and humidity with the help of sensors connected
with Raspberry pi. The SD card is used to stores the
collected data like a memory card. The output is displayed
on the LCD and on off relays are used for server access.

 LAN Cable
LAN Cable (Local Area Network): In our system
LAN Cable is useful for provided internet connectivity to
the Raspberry pi, by means of which the results are updated
at the website & can be accessible at various locations.
The devices connected via LAN has much more efficiency
and have faster speed than the wireless connection.

 HDMI Display
HDMI Display: The display is required to view the
current status of the weather as well as sensor predicted
data such as (humidity, pressure, temperature) values. It
will also reflect the error and disfunctionality of the system.

Raspberry pi is one of them .Python codes are packed into
stand-alone executable programs for some of the most
popular operating systems such as Raspbian, so without
installing python interpreter these codes can be executed
and used easily. Python is designed to be highly readable
and understandable and is very simplest and dynamic in
nature .It is an object-oriented language with an easy to
learn syntax.
