Soil Temperature Sensor Build

The soil temperature sensor is based on a design from John Bennett . I have made a couple of changes to John's design, firstly I do not have PCB making facilities, second his sensor has to sit at the end of a 1-Wire bus, or off the side as a spur. I...

Weather Station Refurb 2013

down last year (2012) I found lots of issues with it, mainly to do with the inconnecting wires between the different sensors. I decided to improve the ease of connecting the sensors together. Be it that the sensors use RJ45 connectors, it seemed...

1-Wire Tempreature Sensor Build

As you will see from the various stats on this site I have a number of temperature sensors around the house. These sensors are all 1Wire temperature sensors connected to either the house Linux machine, a ha7net box or a raspberry pi. To make it easy to...

Weather Station Refurb 2010

some time when it was not raining or snowing, I have managed to carry out the repairs. The first issue was with the solar sensor, which I had thought was producing very odd results. The sensor failed so badly that it took down the data-bus that sends...

House Monitoring (deprecated)

the latest version of Fedora! The Ha7Net is located in the airing cupboard, see the following image. The 1-wire temperature sensors have been attached to the network by a RJ45 couplers. I have made a good few of these now, although a little fiddly, as...

Raspberry PI - I2C Compass

point north, this solves it, well I hope so, it's yet to be fitted, the compass is not the mast :-) Below you can see the sensor that is going into the anemometer, luckily there is space, in fact AAG must have known I was going to develop this :-), it...

Sven Nixie Tube Clock

factory default. There are a myriad of options for them, I have yet to try them all out. There is a built in temperature sensor, which gives the current temperature of where the clock is placed, this is displayed every few seconds, another great...

Rain Gauge Heater

limiting resistors, and thus quite a bit of heat would be generated in the control unit. So as there is a temperature sensor in the rain gauge, why not put one in the control module, I Wire is very well suited to this as one can put them in parallel on...

Current Hassocks Weather Station Measurements

Wet Leaf sensor repaired, back in service.
