Weather Station
My first electronics project, and still my favorite
Home Weather Station
This was the first electronics project that I built, and it is still my favorite. Now on version 0.2, the design (version 0.0) was based on a Raspberry Pi 3B that was powered with a recharagable 12A LiPo battery connected to a 6W solar panel. That configuration was hard to keep running in the winter (with much less daylight), so I converted it to a Feather M0 (from Adafruit Industries) based design. Uses packet radio (RFM95) to send weather measurements to a Raspberry Pi 3B in my house every 20 seconds or so. Those measurements are then stored in a MySQL database and pushed out to the internet (Weather Underground and NWS Citizens Weather Observer Program) and a local display (via RFM95 packet radio) that I built. Will eventually post the detailed design to the Adafruit Playground.
