Product description: Lark Weather Station - portable weather station with wind direction and speed measurement - DFRobot EDU0157-EN
The Lark Weather Station by DFRobot is a compact weather monitoring device that measures wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, and air pressure . It allows real-time data logging via UART and I2C interfaces, and the results are given in physical units, which makes them easy to interpret. The station is compatible with Arduino , Raspberry Pi , ESP32 , and UNIHIKER controllers. It has 16 MB of built-in memory , which allows for 160 days of data storage at minute recording, with the possibility of export via USB Type-C. The device is portable, waterproof , and durable, with a 1/4'' thread for mounting on a tripod , and its size and removable weather vane make it easy to transport and store.
The manufacturer has prepared a user guide that will make it much easier to start working with the device.
Lark Weather Station - portable weather station with wind direction and speed measurement - DFRobot EDU0157-EN.
The device measures wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity and air pressure.
Special features of the weather station
- Five-parameter measurement: accurately records wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity and air pressure.
- Real-time communication: supports UART and I2C communication modes, providing data in physical units, making it easier to interpret and use.
- Controller Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with popular controllers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and UNIHIKER, enabling the development of weather forecasting and automation applications.
- Built-in memory: has 16 MB of internal memory, which allows data storage for 160 days with a recording of every minute.
- Portability and ease of use: compact size similar to a cola can, with a detachable wind vane and standard tripod interface, allows flexible deployment in various environments.
- Solid construction: Water-resistant PCB and metal casing ensure durability, although you should protect the USB Type-C and Gravity interfaces from direct contact with water.
Elements of building a weather station
- Compass
- Anemometer - to measure wind speed, works with an internal sensor.
- Anemometer cover - must be removed when using the compass.
- Housing with louvers - provides air circulation, used for temperature measurement, humidity and air pressure.
- Wind vane - a device for measuring wind direction, works with a wind direction shaft and an internal sensor.
- Wind direction shaft - rotates in response to wind, used to detect wind direction.
- Gravity Interface - supports I2C / UART communication.
- USB Type-C interface - for configuration or data export.
- Adjustable tripod
- Expansion Port - Connects to the battery and data transfer module in the expansion box.
- 1/4'' threaded hole - for mounting the weather station, can be connected to a tripod.
- Software update

How to use the Lark weather station?
- Viewing data in real time: p connect the SCI DAQ module to the Lark station, which will automatically recognize it and display the data on the screen. This allows real-time monitoring of weather conditions in the form of a portable instrument.
- Independent data collection: p Connect the station to a 5V power source or adapter. Lark will automatically begin collecting data at 30-second intervals. Once collection is complete, connect the station to a computer to export the data in CSV format for easy analysis and visualization of results.
- Integration with controllers: connect the Lark station to Arduino or other controllers to program and customize data collection. You can also use WiFi-enabled controllers, such as UNIHIKER , to create an online weather station, allowing remote access to data.
