Very nice. How many watts of solar panels do you have wired in now?

Second solar array (the left one) is up Let's hope this will get it through the darker days

By now, I have done almost everything I can on my station. I have some weather proof connectors on the way to connect he solar panels better and still need to mount the new 3d-printed mica glass mount. When I have the connectors, I can also arrange the wiring more neatly. It now just somewhat held together with tie-wraps.
Now hopefully the two remaining hardware problems can be solved soon. - the AM2315 problem that occurs within minutes after a restart. - the watchdog problem preventing the power on with the signal wire connected.

BTW, I boldly dared to fork the project, changed some things and created a pull request for it... Not sure if that is appreciated in the first place, but this will make sure total-rain and wind gust are actually uploaded to wundergroud.

Peter,
Have you verified that the total rain and wind gust are actually uploaded?

Peter, Have you verified that the total rain and wind gust are actually uploaded? BP Hi,
It was the code I put in the 3.03 verion before, which worked, but you are right, I did not verify in 3.11 Put it in now and check... Will have to feed the rain bucket with a NERF blaster I'm afraid
I'll get back on this.

Connectors connected...
Connecting more/less/other panels is much easier now.
All hardware is in place right now. Let's hope the software will be fixed soon, so I can have a reliable running weather-station soon.

Peter,
We are currently building a new Weather Station using that exact same Box!

I'm finally getting around to setting up my GroveWeatherPI. I actually started by purchasing the basic kit a couple years ago. Unfortunately I encountered some of life's obstacles and the weather kit was packed away until a few days ago when I decided it was time to get this moving forward. I was hoping that over the past couple years that the tutorials on building the weather kit would have been improved. Over the past few days, I have been working on attempting to wire just the basic system so that I can install the software to begin testing the sensors. If anyone knows of any tutorials with accurate graphics, I would appreciate it if they would share this information. I'm hoping to be ready for installing the software in the next week or so. I'll make some progress posts as I move forward.
