One of the students in my IoT Computer Club (here in the UK) is working on a personal project to design and build a solar-powered weather station (that will be located in one of the school's gardens) to monitor and report air temperature, humidity and pressure. Here are the Objectives and list of i…

That is definitely the way to do it Dave. I made some tests with a Wemos and a SHT30 shield, if you mount the SHT30 too close to the Wemos you get skewed readings. I overcame this by using long headers to mount the shield and using deep sleep between measurements. BTW it is possible to calibrate / …

I read about humidity testing with salt a while ago when I was checking my 5 different sensors, but never got round to it. However, that article looks very easy and an interesting thing to carry out. Thanks for the pointer Garry

Nice, you'll find some of my examples dotted about the forum as screenshots. Here is a sample from one of my dashboards: [image]

That is.... Totally Information !

[image] Bobo: Quite possibly, although I have read reports of various inaccuracies with them. Perhaps its their reliability that is the problem. It also doesn't help matters that some have been "mislabeled". Lucky they are cheap I Like the BMP/BME-280's, the originals are from Bosch and they …

Well, that's school holidays almost over. Looking forward to some updates. Martin

Any updates, its all gone quiet. Martin

Hi Martin, I had a set of IN219A current/voltage sensing devices arrive this morning, so my (weather station) student will have the task this week to incorporate one of them in his circuit. I'm going to try it out one of them on one of my own circuits tomorrow (just to make sure there are no probl…

Well, I'm home after 7 weeks away at work. Time to play. How's things coming along with the weather station? Martin

I was really making reference to some of the dodgy packages out there. I have had two fail within six months of use in "suspicious" circumstances. But I'm sure the sensors themselves do exactly what is stated in the datasheet.
