Weather Station: Day 1- May 19


First we set up the weather station. The rain gauge (on the left) and the
wind sensors (top right) are wired to the thermo-hygro sensor (on
the bottom). This sensor then sends signals to the base which shows
the data on the screen. Our goal is to read this signal with the
raspberry pi. It is difficult because the sensor is completely
wireless, there is no USB. We put this project on hold and thought
ahead to the other weather station that is coming in soon. This
weather station has a USB port which makes it easier to connect to the
raspberry pi. We followed the code that we found on the DragonTail
website to connect the raspberry pi to the new weather station but we
cannot test this software until the weather station has arrived.
