Hi Folks,

We are moving to a new sensor suite (the WeatherRack3) for SkyWeather3. Here are some highlights:

1) New NO MOVING PARTS Weather Sensor. It measures:

- Air Temperature
- Air Humidity
- Air Pressure
- Rainfall (Optical)
- Noise
- Air Quality
- Wind Speed (Ultrasonic)
- Wind Direction (Ultrasonic)

2) 433MHz communication fromWeatherRack3 to Raspberry Pi
3) Compatible with the WeatherSense products (Lightning, Radiation, etc.)
4) Solar Powered (panel included)
5) Solar controller and Mini Pro Plus included (all that good solar data!)

Let me know any comments!

We are having a hard time getting the previous version WeatherRack2 (shipping costs have gone so high - and we have to buy an entire container of the WeatherRack2 units).

We will be doing a kickstarter for this project certainly by late December or in January.

John

Some progress! Here is "faked" weather data coming in from the new sensor through wireless 433MHz. JSON of course.
