New to Node-RED. How is your experience on stability and reliability for running it 24/7? Is Linux is more stable for Node-RED? Is Debian CLI version (no desktop) good?

We are trying to build a high school STEM weather station

[image] Leo_3: What is development with VSCode? We are just starting days ago only on the graphical block interface That's mostly for if you are developing custom nodes. But might also be for editing configuration files or command line scripts.

[image] Leo_3: trying to build a high school STEM weather station Good project. What sensors do you have - anemometer, rain gauge, etc? What interfaces do they use?

I have temperature, hudmidity, pressure and light sensors form Adafruit and Sparkfun. Have done i2C interface with RPi pico. (yet to be done) from Pico to RPi. Have not got rain and wind sensor but saw Raspberry STEM project howto site has them. Wind speed is on/off switch. Time period is wind …

Just out of interest I looked on the STEM site for their weather station instructions. Alas I couldn't find it. Seems my way of thinking is no more congruent with teachers than it was 50 years ago! Anyway, good luck with your project.

May this help? Raspberry Pi weather station https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/build-your-own-weather-station wind direction

If using a Pi, the usual Pi caveats apply: Make sure you use a decent and powerful enough power supply. Especially if trying to power via USB. An adaptor for an HD or SSD is more reliable. If using an SD-Card for storage, make sure it is a good one with wear levelling and make sure you retain load…

My 2 cents. For school STEM (which is not easy for some/many teachers), Raspberry Pi has commited production ending date of quite many years. Important to future-proof teaching materials and accumulation of knowhows. Raspberry Pi PICO W has Wifi, low cost, no SD card needed, Python is easy to lea…

Multiple machines with Windows, Windows Server, Linux Ubuntu, Raspberry. All of them runing fine 365/24/7 for about 3-4 years

Maybe some more clues on this weather station related thread - Solar-powered weather station
