Cusercoli autonomous GSM weather station
Anybody who does a sport that relies on weather conditions like flying or sailing, knows very well
what it means to drive 50 Km to the site, just to discover that it can't be done.
I personally realized this when I took my paragliding course in 1994. We flew from different locations
in the area of Castelluccio di Norcia, and I remember that just at a few miles distance the weather conditions
could be really different.
I quit flying because I am now putting the extra time into these web pages (and more), but our software Engineer Maurizio Tolfa
still does it. During spring and summer he enjoys to shut down the computer for a while and to go paragliding.
To avoid useless trips he set up the meteo station in the picture with our TCS board, so he can call it and listen to
wind speed, wind direction and temperature before moving. The place where the station is installed is called Cusercoli
and you can see the take-off site in the picture.
This is a useful application but many others are possible, including Sailing clubs, Beach bars and more.
Anybody has a telephone, and this is the only thing needed to call a station equipped with our TCS 2.0 with the GSM Siemens M20 module.
Of course this can be a SMS meteo station, sending an SMS with meteo data to whom sends an SMS to the station number.
