Got a second one in today and it’s looking good. Hooked it up to an RPI 2 (or 3?) with a ribbon cable and ran a test-script that shows (and log) data every 30 seconds. So far so good!

Got the camera and IR leds working. We have lift off!! I have little experience with hardware in combination with RPI, so good to see it works. Got it set up with motion eye now, but that’s a bit heavy for a RPI Zero W. Checking what else is possible.
Bad data sent to Luftdaten project :-/
Hit a snag, even with fog where relative humidity should be 100%, it maxes out around 70-80%. Checking with supplier if it simply a faulty unit. It’s not that it’s a cheap board or anything. So far Pimoroni support have been nothing but helpful and responsive. Let’s see what the verdict is and a replacement might work better.

Since breeding season is upon us, I decided to look into birdcam thingy first. This means I made a simple box from house hold items to place the sensor in.

I need to get the hardware outside and played around with some cardboard to see what would work. It’s somewhat boxy, but I know what could and couldn’t work.

I ran into a neat Citizen Science project the other day that triggered me to make my own particulate matter sensor. The project website (multilingual: Lufdaten.info) shows how to create one with an Arduino and some small components.

Where to start… First site I actually aim to store some content that might be interesting for others around the globe. I am sure to walk into standard traps while re-inventing the wheel others have perfected 🙂
