  1. Re:Grants by grumling · · Score: 3, Informative · on Personal Weather Stations Helping With Weather Forecasting

    They've become quite a bit cheaper over the years, and some of the newer wired sensors are very affordable: http://www.aagelectronica.com/. You don't need a display unit for the 1-wire sensors, just an open serial port. There is some free software available.

    We don't need grants, just people willing to maintain a personal weather station and share data.

    Now, I live in an area with a lot of federal land (a national park, forest and recreation area). It would be useful, since the ranger stations already are equipped with weather stations, if they could add their observations to the CWOP, or get them to NOAA somehow, but I'm sure that would require an act of congress, and be way over the top as far as cost/value of the info.

  2. OneWire Weather Station by snopes · · Score: 3, Informative · on Integrating Weather Reports into a Webserver?

    Weather station and accessories based on the Dallas 1-Wire and iButton components:

    Linux software:

    I'll be honest. I bought the kit, got the basics running with the software, couldn't get the wind vane calibrated, and ran out of time (new home, new baby, etc.). However, it all seems to work just fine and lots of people that report into wunderground.org seem to use this kit. I just haven't gotten it fully going myself.

    Just saw the the guy that maintains the unix/linux/risc os s/w has it running on a Linksys NSLU2. Cool.

    1. One Wire Weather station from AAG.
    2. Excellent free software to run it.
    3. gnuplot to plot the results.
    4. Post the information to The Weather Underground

    Well, it'd be NICE to do it for under $200, but as of right now, it's not QUITE possible

    You can setup a Moderately accurate temp and wind station for $79, BUT the temp sensor is enclosed (NOT vented), so it tends to read high, and you need a computer

    Look at AAG Electronics

    Adding humidity (which adds a more accurate thermometer), Pressure, and rain adds about $150

    There IS quite a network in North America, with SOME holes in it - look at NOAA's Mesonet

    I'm not an electrical engineer, but you might find what you're looking for at AAG Electronica. They have serial port adapters, sensors, switches, etc that work on a 1-wire network. I have a weather station hooked up with their gear. I think you'd need the adapter (~$15) and their switch module (~$30). http://www.aagelectronica.com/aag/index.html
