Nice script. Easy to get a full owerview of the sensors.

Could you check if you have the keyworsd MAX and MIN in meteostationWEB/meteo.rrd if you open it in a texteditor.
It's binary, so wont make mutch sense, but in mine I have both AVERAGE, MIN and MAX.

If anyone reading this thread have or will at some time print the housing, I've updated the drawings with some rain protecton.
I Installed a new DHT22 when upgrading, and so far it's working. Even after a week of snow, rain and fog.

pi@gardenpi:~/meteostationWEB $ grep MAX meteo.rrd
Binary file meteo.rrd matches
pi@gardenpi:~/meteostationWEB $ grep MIN meteo.rrd
Binary file meteo.rrd matches

And ...
pi@gardenpi:~/meteostationWEB/html/CHART $ ls *.json
AVERAGEvalues.json  MAXvalues.json  MINvalues.json  RTdata.json

Moreover ...

The little blue and red arrows have appeared on my temp and humidity guages.
The MINMAXfail error is no longer appearing in my terminal.

I guess it just needs to gather enough data to start producing the min and max values and
generating the MAX... MIN... json files.

Now I cant wait for my light and pressure sensors.

Yay! 3d printers are awsome, so +1 forr that.

I'm using the Prusa i3 mk2s. One oof the best printers out there.
All the other i3 printers are Prusa clones :)

www.prusa3d.com/#our-printer

The improved Prusa i3 mk3 has just been released and features filament 'empty' detection and power loss resume. It also have a detachable flexibble print bed, so getting prints of the bed when finished is a breeze.

There is also a multicolor update for the mk2/s. Witch can be used for water soluble support material...

I think I'm still stuck in the last century when it comes to 3D printers and think they print crapy stuff. ie: not smooth surfaces... obviously I'm 100% wrong as I've seen your weather station box.
That Prusa printer, are you happy with it? All good?
I'm a total noob when it comes to 3D printers :blush:

You should watch most of the 3d printing videos in these YouTube channels.

They are a lot better in explanining thigs than I am, and covers both basic an pro tips.

Addiction alert!

I really dig the Prusa i3 mk2s. It's at the top of usability when it comes to setup and calibration. (now surpassed by the mk3), and have supreme quality!

There are ofcourse less pricy printers. I'v seen a lot of good reviews of the Creality C10 with a huge print volume.

I'll be watching some of those vids myself tonight. I'm at the Obsy, but forgot the charger for my laptop = no KStars, and the Obsy roof is frozen shut after sitting with 40cm of snow for 48 hours. My linear actuators capable of lifting 120kg does nothing, and I'm afraid of starting a fire if I ceep on trying!

So, I remember learning a long while ago a method of moisture proofing electronics.

It's as simple as spraying some wd40 on the circuit board(s). This will create a film that the moisture will not penetrate.

I would guess that this mightdistrupt the sensors, but could be smart for the arduino.

Have anyone tried this? WD40 is not conductive, so should work like a charm!?

I'm not too sure about this nor convinced that it will work. My Arduino is located in the main server's enclosure so it's safe from moisture.
The weather box itself is this one:

A very very quick search on Google lead me to eBay 381180859843 check it out as it might be what you're looking for. It purpose made for it, instead of "trying" some WD40.

I would go for the mk3 if I vere buing one now.
It has some new features that makes it top the mk2s, and on top of that it's a lot quiter from what ive heard.

I get no result on ebay for 381180859843, but I'll do a search.

Not sure that I actually need it for this project, but it would be nice to have on hand.

do a search on eBay for "Servisol 6100009000 Plastic Seal 60 Protective Insulator 200ml"
