So all my updates was merged into Indi master 6 days ago, so no need to clone my fork of indilib and change between branches anymore.

So here's the first week of weather data :)


Looks like my corrected sky temp is -18 for clear skies, and +7.75 for 100% clouds, so I'll have to update that in my firmware.

As to the pressure graph. Even thoug only 1.0k is marked, the graph shows values from 986 - 1036 (like thae gauge. Would be nice to show that more clearly, but over a week there is visible variations. I might have to calibrate the sensor some, as it went off the chart for a while.

Jasem, I just added the full howto as html to the subbmit article page.

If anyone like to know a good way of converting markdown to html, then this page is the best bet. dillinger.io/
Select Export as > Styled html, and you are good to go :)

My meteostation dropped out after a full on rain storm a few nights ago. Could be something random, but i'll have to visit the observatory and inspect.
Hopefully a easy fix.

Hi Magnus, thanks for the submission, but the article is not readable at all! Please try to correct the issue and break it down into several pages. Use <h3> for main headers and <h4> for sub-headers so we can have a proper Table-Of-Contents for easy navigation by users.

Hi Jasem. Looks like I was depending too mutch on the autogenerated html from the converter.

I have now removed the wanky TOC and fixed the h3, h4 issues, added the autotoc class.
I also split the HOWTO into 4 pages, and added the readmore tag.

Hopefully good to go now. (or is it? let me know)

I also edited the author alias for the DIY: INDI Telescope Cover artcle (so it matches).

Perfect !

When to publish an article?

Now I build a weather station and the original HOWTO is a lot of bugs.

I have the components connected and the test program says wrong connection. I tested each component separately and the components are well connected. I had to modify the test program and it really works! I have data from the components.

I froze at the server and I do not know how to continue :-(

I'll wait for the new HOWTO ;-)

Thanks gentlemen for your work and I'm waiting. :-)

Awesome stuff guys, I decided on buying a 3D printer later this year and will very likely try this one. :)

I decided the same way :) 3D printer purchased and on the go.

"I am sorry for my English" :(

One question:

What causes drops of moisture on IR sensors?

I found this Czech project and have an IR sensor covered with HDPE dome.
Has heating to eliminate moisture.

Hey Magnus,

I've downloaded the latest code from github, re-installed the all thing from the Arduino to the html code.
It's working correctly, however the pressure isn't showing as your latest graph. Kind of stuck at 1000 on the web page while the indi show 1022.

fixed, changed:
