There are two options that I know about for those without a 3d printer.

The files are hosted on Thingiverse.com, and there is a 'order this part printed' button.

There is also 3DHub (i linked to it in the tutorial). Anyone with a printer can add a hub, so it's likely that there is one close to you.

I have not tried either my self, but if you google you might find some reviews.

PETG or ABS is good for the housing. Then TPU for the gaskgets (or other flex filament). The themplate to cut the window is ok in PLA.

Thinking back about the DHT22 sensor, it "failed" as the sensor reached 99.90% humidity, anywhere in the code where I can see this to a slightly higher value for example 99.99 instead?

ok, so I think the DHT22 is dead after all. It's not even raining and it has reached 99.90% again.... :(
off to fleebay to get another one.

A value of more than 99.90% should not be a issue at all. However the sensor might have been unable to read, and the result nan.

I see in the exaple sketch that there is a check if the read is nan, so it can exit early. As dewpoint is calculated from the temp and humidity, it might have been doing aritmetric with nan (not a number)

I can add this check
// Check if any reads failed and exit early (to try again).
  if (isnan(h) || isnan(t) || isnan(f)) {
    Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
    return;
  }

It will not help with the sensor reporting 99.90% humidity, but can help the firmware to keep going on sensor failure.

unrelated but super cool !!!!
build/upload your sketches from the Linux command line
inotool.org/

Just tested it, works perfectly fine.

That's very nice.
Don't like the Arduino IDE at all, and there is no refresh all files for when I edit them in vim.

Will give it a go

I have successfully built and uploaded the indiduinoMETEO from the command line. Now deleting the bulky Osx install.... lol

github.com/indilib/indi/blob/master/3rdp...eteoRRD_MaxMinAvg.py

line 34:
i=i++1

should be I believe:
i += 1


as I get:
File "./meteoRRD_MaxMinAvg.py", line 34
    i=i++
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

But do not get the error message after my change in the code.

Yes, that's correct.
I saw it after the last post and googled it.

i++ is not valid in python
i=i++1 is not valid syntax in any programming language

It should be
i += 1

I'm not sure how this happened, but the i=i++1 has been in the code for the last five years, so this part of the code has never worked....

There is one thing that bugs me a lot.... it's the pressure rrd ouput, it sucks. Flat line, you can't see much on it.
I'm going to try to modify it.

Hm, not sure what you could cange.

The presure changes very slovly over time. If you have the meteostation up for the full graph time of tree monts, you should se some changes.

One thing is that the presure stays close to 1000. If the graph is 0 - 1100, then flux between 900 and 1100 shows as small variations.

You coul probably google minimum and maximum outside air pressure ever mesured, then adjust the min / max in the graph accordingly.

A graph shoving values from 800 - 1200, would give a more interesting graph. (800 - 1200, or something, just guessing numbers.)
