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:

@gonzo Good thing you fixed it. I have not really changed anything on the webapp. Only the config and start, stop script. My pressure sensor is also a little off (mine is to high). I'll try your approach to calibrate it :)

@kalda. If you worry about moisture on the IR sensor, it looks like you could just glue on that dome. However I have not notized any difference from the sensor with or without raindrops on it.

One tip to everyone: do NOT get the DHT wet.... they tend to die when wet... :whistle:

I'm a little concerned with the DHT sensor, somehow it doesn't look like it's reporting the right humidity %.
ie: today, it's been raining most of the day, the weather box is outside, the sensor is protected against direct contact with the rain but not restricted.
Only measured %53 humidity.

Not sure if it's a little too sensitive.
Mine shows 100% when it's raining. However if the sensor is wet, then it will have to dry off for a few days.

Im not sure if there is a better more tolerating sensor out there.

I will see if i can print some slits to cower the openings with. To avoid the sensor getting wet.

I'm going to wipe the arduino and test the following code:
