Arduino Software Released: WeatherRack Sensors / WeatherPiArduino
Want to build your own Weather Station?
We have been working on the release of the Arduino drivers for the WeatherPiArduino and
the WeatherRack Weather Sensors from SwitchDoc Labs. The first release of the verification software and drivers are now on github.com/switchdoclabs/Arduino-WeatherPiArduino . Below are some results of the WeatherRack running the WeatherPiArduino software on an Arduino. Raspberry Pi drivers are coming up next.
The WeatherRack Weather Sensors are a set of sensors designed to measure your local
weather conditions. It is designed to interface with either your own board, or combine it with the SwitchDoc Labs WeatherPiArduino board (available on SwitchDoc.com) to add a Barometer, Temperature Sensors, Real Time Clock, and optionally: Lightning Sensor / Humidity / ADC.
How To Buy
SwitchDoc Labs is now shipping the WeatherRack Weather Sensors and the WeatherPiArduino Weather board. They are now available on the SwitchDoc Labs Store, Amazon and Tindie.com.
Software Output From WeatherPiArduino Test Program
You can see the wind speed, gust and wind direction from the WeatherRack. You can also
see the WeatherPiArduino DS3231 clock, BMP180 Barometer, the HTU21D-F, the Lightning Detector (more about that next week), the AT24C32 EEPROM and the FRAM. You can also see some of the buffers being sent to the ArduinoConnect Control Panel (www.milocreek.com).
