Weather Station: Day 2- May 20

Today we focused on the weather station that we have. We took a trip to the roof to figure out where we could place the weather station so that nothing else on the roof would interfere with taking data. We will most likely place the weather station at the highest point near the location of the all-sky camera. We took apart the base of the weather station to check for something that measures the signal. The picture below shows what we found inside which unfortunately gave us no information. Then for fun, we cut a wire that was the same length as the antenna located on the back of the part shown in the picture below. This was then connected to the oscilloscope which read signals from the wind and rain sensors. The waves that were produced were not helpful because the chances of decoding the signal was nearly impossible. We are now looking for other ways to connect the weather station to the raspberry pi.
