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.
