Arduino-Uno Based Mobile Data Logger with GPS Feature
Abstract: Lightning activity
correlates with the formation of thunderclouds which increase the atmospheric electric
field (AEF) between the cloud and the earth. Observations of the development of
the AEF will allow the prediction of lightning activities close to a particular
location. In research and development, the data logger plays an important role
to observe and collect data from AEF sensors. The data logger must be reliable
and effective. High investment costs are involved in acquiring a data logger,
and choosing a suitable data logger is not easy. Institut Voltan dan Arus
Tinggi (IVAT) is develeloping AEF sensor. Alongwith that sensor development a
data logger development is also required. In this paper, a mobile data logger
is developed by using Arduino-Uno. This mobile data logger is equipped with a
GPS module, which provides accurate positioning in the collection of data.
Laboratory and field tests were carried out to observe the performance of the
mobile data logger system. The results showed that the developed data logger
works properly.
