How to Build a WeatherRack3 No Moving Parts Weather Station

How to Build a WeatherRack3 No Moving Parts Weather Station SwitchDoc Labs is building a new weather station and software with the WeatherRack3, a new generation no-moving parts 7 in 1 sensor.   We are building a solar powered box around the WeatherRack3 that will keep the sensor running for long periods of time (even with out sun – love those large capacity lead acid battery).   It’s a similar…

A small Production line for the University of Idaho. No moving parts WeatherStation. Solar panel and a Renogy controller. We have cracked the weird RS332 port on the Renogy and are now transmitting vast quantities of solar data. It works! Solar Powered. 433MHz signal to the Raspberry Pi. Mini Pro Plus Arduino compatible controller. No moving parts! This is for a University of Idaho research project in Sandpoint, Idaho. #switchdoclabs #weather #solar #weathersense #weatherrack3 #433mhz #diy #kickstarter #arduino #renogy #govandals #idaho #sandpoint #sandpointidaho https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnc3-KnSK8S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

WeatherRack2 Error Codes

WeatherRack2 Error Codes Certain data values coming from the WeatherRack2 indicate errors.  You should scan for these values and modify your data appropriately. Here is a chart of the error values, their hex codes and the decimal equivalents.  For example, a value of 131067 from the light sensor means there is no light, so change your incoming value to 0.   WeatherRack2 Errors

Time to take it outdoors! This is our latest prototype. 30W solar panel and a Renogy controller. We have cracked the weird RS332 port on the Renogy and am now transmitting vast quantities of solar data. We are still waiting for PC boards and the final parts. But it works!!
