a) <200 GBP b) sorry, yes, sloppy of me. Not really raw. I am replacing a system built from very old fine offset spare parts (now seized up) . I interpret the wind speed and rain pulses and wind direction ohmic resistance in a raspberry pi. Direct from the sensors. Temp, pressure, humidity and solar intensity all handled with i2c chips. These can all stay. Hoping for slightly less raw than that! c) only said USB because I thought that was only way of accessing data locally (ie without round-tripping to external service) WiFi would be fine d) need stream of readings to populate (existing) database. (existing) Analysis and website then query that database e) can handle other sensors myself. Only really need wind and rainfall. See b) above. f) no console needed g) raspberry 2 and 3 (have several - long story...) h) no position on this
BTW Good level of programming skills - Go, C, C++ as well as Linux and networking And thanks again for your help Peter On Wed, 13 Jul 2022, 8:36 am Rainer Lang, <[email protected]> wrote: > Now, this depends on various factors: > a) what does "modestly priced" mean for you ?
