Basics
- A "weather station"
- Essentially a self contained sensor suite
- Is modular, but should measure most/all of these things:
- Air temperature
- Relative humidity
- Vapor pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Wind speed
- Wind Direction
- Gust/Gust Liklyness/Frequency (Via Software from other wind stuff)
- Solar Radiation (General Brightness, and/or UV brightness)
- Day/Night Time/Cycle (Via software from solar stuff)
- Precipitation (any form, with differentation)
- Lightning Strike Counter
- Lightning Strike Distance
Off the Shelf Options
Closed Source
- The - unknown cost
Existing Open Source Designs
GreatScott
Open Green Energy
- A Youtube Video on Their V2.0 Design
- Probably the most "complete" ?
DigiblurDIY
Minimum Viable Product
- "Self Contained" ie is one unit, often on a post
- Lots of Networking Options Via Modules (NONE (just storage on sd etc) , Wired XLR, Wired USB , CAN BUS or Ethernet etc
- All sensors are modular
- Can handle any* weather (* being whatever is desired by end user)
- Durable
- DIY (or premade)
- As low cost as possible
- Modular
Basic Design
General Overview/Conceptual Design
- Stacked "modules" similar to Arduino Shields and Rasberry Pi Hats
- Each is sealed (need to determine weatherproof connectors
- Either the modules are "flush" or there is a seperate shell/cover
- Arduino and/or Raspberr Pi as the core computer/microcontoller (unless a custom board is used)
- The main controlls and electronics are in one module
- Cables is in another
- Optional Onboard Storage is on another
- Each wireless thing is a module
- Max "stack" no more than 50cm excluding the pole for mounting, and any antennae etc
