The basic weather station setup is working. I have the Arduino (XinoRF) sending data back to the Raspberry Pi (Slice of radio) where a Python script is logging the data to an SQLite database. The original plan was to use MySql but I couldn't get this working with Python 3 - I'm not sure if it is even supported yet. I'll post some samples of the code later when I have tidied it up. I haven't actually taken it outside yet as I haven't quite got the solar power working yet. I tried to save cash with a really cheap solar cell, but it can' keep the voltage over the 6v under load that the SparkFun Solar Budy I'd acquired needs to start charging the LiPo battery. |
