Software Updates on OurWeather, SmartPlantPi and DataLogger Software

We have released software updates for a number of SwitchDoc Labs products.

What is OurWeather?

OurWeather is an ESP8266 based  connected weather station containing 7 different sensors that will teach about electronics, software and the weather.   It contains all the sensors and wires to make a fully functional, WiFi weather station.   No software programming is required, it works right out of the box. However, if you want to change the way OurWeather works, add your own software or do something entirely different, we have the Open Source software available.   And what is one of the coolest features of OurWeather?   Building the kit requires NO SOLDERING. It uses Grove Connectors.    It is all plug and play based building, with a full step-by-step photograph based instruction manual.  It is a safe and educational way to learn about weather, electronics and science topics.   You can watch our successful kickstarter video here: https://youtu.be/pw6hSNSQnsM
