Tutorial: SkyWeather Assembly Tips
SkyWeather allows you to build your own weather station with a Sky Cam to take pictures of your Sky and display them the cloud on WeatherSTEM. You might even make it to the WeatherChannel! Here are some tips for SkyWeather Assembly.
All up-to-date information for SkyWeather is here.
Tip #1: Always make sure you have the latest assembly manual when you build your SkyWeather Kit.

Tip #2: Adding Hooks to the Back of the Bud Box is a great way of mounting SkyWeather Boxes to a Pole.
We used #210 x 1-3/16 inch hooks.
Tip #3: If using the included Pi Zero Camera Cable, mount your Raspberry Pi Zero on the side and use a zip tie to provide strain relief so opening the box doesn’t dislodge the camera cable.
A good alternative to putting a zip tie on the bracket (super glue is brittle) is to mount the Raspberry Pi Zero in the opposite direction. Make sure you still plug the Pi2Grover in the correct way!
