===== The purpose of the system =====

Project aiming at students so they can create something useful and get practical experience. It is also educational (programming in C, wiring, etc.) and shows young enthusiasts that you don't need a lot of money to create something purposeful.

===== Project goals =====

  * Collect all the necessary material for production
  * Implementation of the meteorological station
  * Make easy to follow instructions for replicating the project appropriate for high school students

===== Elaboration of the context =====

===== Resources =====

  * People
      * Team members
  * Waste material
      * Institutional waste that is no longer used
      * Belongins of team members
  * Ready-made technologies
      * Microcontroller (Arduino)
      * Microchips (ESP-32)
      * Sensors - BMP-280, DHT-11

===== Limitations =====

  * Resources
      * Inability to procure a certain component out of waste
      * Need for buying cheap components and sensors
      * Imprecision of sensors
      * Robustness of the board in the end of implementation
  * Time
      * Completing the project checkpoints within the deadlines
      * Finishing the project by May, 30th
  * Money
      * Components that are bought must be cheap and easy to get

===== My Task =====

Every week we had deadlines for the presentations above. We had to study the making od documentations and do presentations.

After that we had to collect waste material for building the system. We arrange collection with CIP representative and collect printers, computers, mice etc.

We had to write documentation for the DHT-11 sensor, write instructions for connection on protoboard and programming the sensor and showing results on server.

After writing documentation word file, we had to make a video of the whole system, together with audio recording and subtitles.
