Build diary, home weather station<\/h1>\n

This is the build log for my home weather station, I’ll be writing documents after I complete each sensor setup within Arduino so it’s working, then compiling a full arduino setup for when it’s finished. Links will only be added when I have the sensors working for me.<\/p>\n

Sensor Setups<\/h2>\n

This is all the sensors I have installed (or plan to install) onto my home weather station, so you can see future articles I’ll be writing. I’ll create hyperlinks for them once I’ve done it<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Setting up the GY-BMME PM280 Sensor<\/strong><\/a> (Temperature, Pressure and Altitude sensor)<\/li>\n
  2. Setting up the BH1750 Sensor<\/a><\/strong> (LUX Level sensor)<\/li>\n
  3. Anenometer<\/li>\n
  4. Hygrometer<\/li>\n
  5. AS3935 Lightning Sensor<\/li>\n
  6. Stevenson Screen (Protection against elements for sensors)<\/li>\n
  7. Skycam (Monitoring clouds \/ stars)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What do I want on my home weather station?<\/h2>\n

    Well, ideally a reall comprehensive setup that allows me to monitor a hell of a lot of features. Some others I’m thinking. I’m just going to keep adding to what I want to add, and what sensors I want to add as I think them up. I plan on soldering female header pins on the board. My original idea was RJ11 jacks, however these are a bit sloppy, as the pin headers allow me to replace any failed components by swapping them out. RJ11 jacks mean I have to reterminate them. Not a big issue, will just be annoying.<\/p>\n
