LTB Weather Station

Weather Stations are a very useful devices, and as we increase our knowledge of the global weather, quantifying our own local experience is also popular. Weather has never been more interesting! Integrating aspects of the weather to IoT is also increasingly important.

**Important Update:** I have designed a 433MHz link to allow the transmitter and sensors to be separate from the console and sensors. Output can be to a stand alone LCD display or by serial, eg to a Raspberry Pi, for further processing. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3546977

This project does not invent anything much new, but should give a working set of plans for a weather enthusiast to build their own station. The design is somewhat double-brick out-house in most places and does not require really hi-res printing eg no wafer thin walls. However it will produce a robust system that people may like to refine themselves. The OpenSCAD files are provided to allow people to customise the designs.

The system was designed and built for an Arts/Science Exhibition, FLOAT, as a demonstration station, and has been wired up and programmed to demonstrate the usual weather station functions. A cutaway funnel is also provided, which was used with the Rain Gauge for this exhibition. In the demonstration video a film of plastic has been glued to the open side so that water can be dripped in to demonstrate the toggling tipping bucket system. I have also added an upside down version of the funnel for the Rain…
