Due to the method used to measure the contaminants, this Air Quality sensor can not output specific data to describe target gases' concentrations quantitatively. But it's still good enough to be used to describe qualitative air quality. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Air Quality sensor requires a warm up time of about 2 minutes after power on before it will be reporting good data.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Air Quality sensor is based on a Winsen MP503 Air-Quality Gas Sensor. This sensor is designed for indoor use but can be used outdoors if it is covered and protected from high humidity. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not use any silicon based spray or lubricant products around the Air Quality sensor. Use of those products will rapidly reduce the sensitivity of the sensor.\u003c\/strong\u003e This unit requires relativity clean air conditions when starting up. When testing the sensor by using the cardboard box and hair spray test setup, do not spray the hairspray directly on the sensor. Spray it in the air around the sensor. It does not take much hairspray! The analog voltage from the Air Quality sensor is converted by the SwitchDoc Labs Analog to Digital Converter into a 16 bit value that is read by Our Weather and converted into a qualitative gauge of the air quality.

Due to the method used to measure the contaminants, this Air Quality sensor can not output specific data to describe target gases' concentrations quantitatively. But it's still good enough to be used to describe qualitative air quality. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Air Quality sensor requires a warm up time of about 2 minutes after power on before it will be reporting good data.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Air Quality sensor is based on a Winsen MP503 Air-Quality Gas Sensor. This sensor is designed for indoor use but can be used outdoors if it is covered and protected from high humidity. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not use any silicon based spray or lubricant products around the Air Quality sensor. Use of those products will rapidly reduce the sensitivity of the sensor.\u003c\/strong\u003e This unit requires relativity clean air conditions when starting up. When testing the sensor by using the cardboard box and hair spray test setup, do not spray the hairspray directly on the sensor. Spray it in the air around the sensor. It does not take much hairspray! The analog voltage from the Air Quality sensor is converted by the SwitchDoc Labs Analog to Digital Converter into a 16 bit value that is read by Our Weather and converted into a qualitative gauge of the air quality. See these values below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:   Using the AirQuality Extender and the Solar Power Extender in the same OurWeather Project\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you are using the AirQuality Extender and the Solar Power Extender in the same OurWeather setup then you need to make a change to the ADC included in the AirQuality Extender Kit.

Each day, the sun achieves its highest angle (highest intensity, shortest shadows) at solar noon, which only approximately corresponds to 12:00 on clocks. This is because of the differences between solar time and local time in a given time zone. In general, UV risk is high when the sun is directly enough overhead that people's shadows are shorter than their height.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eLikewise, UV intensity can be higher or lower for surfaces at different angles to the horizontal. For example, if people are walking or standing outdoors, UV exposure to the eyes and vertical surfaces of skin, such as the face, can actually be more severe when the sun is lower, such as the end of a summer's day, or winter afternoons on a ski trail. This is partly a consequence of the fact that the measurement equipment upon which the index is based is a flat horizontal surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eUV intensity can nearly double with reflection from snow or other bright surfaces like water, sand, or concrete.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eThe recommendations given are for average adults with lightly tan skin. Those with darker skin are more likely to withstand greater sun exposure, while extra precautions are needed for children, seniors, particularly fair-skinned adults, and those who have greater sun sensitivity for medical reasons or from UV exposure in previous days. (The skin's recovery from UV radiation generally takes two days or more to run its course.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBecause of the way the UV Index is calculated, it technically expresses the risk of developing sunburn, which is caused mostly by UVB radiation. However, UVA radiation also causes damage (photoaging, melanoma). Under some conditions, including most tanning beds, the UVA level may be disproportionately higher than described by the UV Index. The use of broad-spectrum (UVA\/UVB) sunscreen can help address this concern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2017-10-19T21:22:24-07:00","created_at":"2017-10-19T21:22:25-07:00","vendor":"vendor-unknown","type":"Retired","tags":[],"price":1395,"price_min":1395,"price_max":1395,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":3340874514462,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0026-GRVSLS-DSBT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Grove SI1145 Sunlight \/ IR \/ UV I2C Sensor","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1395,"weight":14,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"088234728693","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/IMG_6708.JPG?v=1532396870","#\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/IMG_6705.JPG?v=1532396870","#\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1d365d85375ec2448e7fdd4058e69e7c.jpg?v=1532396870","\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9ac0b238dbb0934acd5b06207030ddee.jpg?v=1532396870"],"featured_image":"\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/IMG_6708.JPG?v=1532396870","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":1693678239788,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.195,"height":748,"width":894,"src":"\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/IMG_6708.JPG?v=1532396870"},"aspect_ratio":1.195,"height":748,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/IMG_6708.JPG?v=1532396870","width":894},{"alt":null,"id":1693678207020,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.485,"height":807,"width":1198,"src":"\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/IMG_6705.JPG?v=1532396870"},"aspect_ratio":1.485,"height":807,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/IMG_6705.JPG?v=1532396870","width":1198},{"alt":"Grove Sunlight \/ IR \/ UV I2C Sensor","id":828942843948,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.572,"height":614,"width":965,"src":"\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1d365d85375ec2448e7fdd4058e69e7c.jpg?v=1532396870"},"aspect_ratio":1.572,"height":614,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1d365d85375ec2448e7fdd4058e69e7c.jpg?v=1532396870","width":965},{"alt":"Grove Sunlight \/ IR \/ UV I2C Sensor","id":828942876716,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":960,"width":1280,"src":"\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9ac0b238dbb0934acd5b06207030ddee.jpg?v=1532396870"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":960,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/switchdoc.ricehawk.site\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9ac0b238dbb0934acd5b06207030ddee.jpg?v=1532396870","width":1280}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eGrove SI1145 Sunlight, IR and UV I2C Sensor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Grove Sunlight and UV I2C sensor can monitor sunlight intensity, IR intensity and UV intensity.

Each day, the sun achieves its highest angle (highest intensity, shortest shadows) at solar noon, which only approximately corresponds to 12:00 on clocks. This is because of the differences between solar time and local time in a given time zone. In general, UV risk is high when the sun is directly enough overhead that people's shadows are shorter than their height.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eLikewise, UV intensity can be higher or lower for surfaces at different angles to the horizontal. For example, if people are walking or standing outdoors, UV exposure to the eyes and vertical surfaces of skin, such as the face, can actually be more severe when the sun is lower, such as the end of a summer's day, or winter afternoons on a ski trail. This is partly a consequence of the fact that the measurement equipment upon which the index is based is a flat horizontal surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eUV intensity can nearly double with reflection from snow or other bright surfaces like water, sand, or concrete.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eThe recommendations given are for average adults with lightly tan skin. Those with darker skin are more likely to withstand greater sun exposure, while extra precautions are needed for children, seniors, particularly fair-skinned adults, and those who have greater sun sensitivity for medical reasons or from UV exposure in previous days. (The skin's recovery from UV radiation generally takes two days or more to run its course.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBecause of the way the UV Index is calculated, it technically expresses the risk of developing sunburn, which is caused mostly by UVB radiation. However, UVA radiation also causes damage (photoaging, melanoma). Under some conditions, including most tanning beds, the UVA level may be disproportionately higher than described by the UV Index. The use of broad-spectrum (UVA\/UVB) sunscreen can help address this concern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e"});window.BOLD.common.Shopify.saveVariant(3340874514462, { variant: {"id":3340874514462,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0026-GRVSLS-DSBT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Grove SI1145 Sunlight \/ IR \/ UV I2C Sensor","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1395,"weight":14,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"088234728693","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}, inventory_quantity: 0, product_id: 229351522334, product_handle: "grove-sunlight-ir-uv-i2c-sensor", price: 1395, variant_title: "Default Title", group_id: '', csp_metafield: {}});window.BOLD.common.Shopify.saveProduct("smart-garden-system-raspberry-pi-based-smart-gardening-kit-no-soldering", 1406996742188, {"id":1406996742188,"title":"Smart Garden System (Version 1 - Retired) - Raspberry Pi based Smart Gardening Kit - No Soldering!","handle":"smart-garden-system-raspberry-pi-based-smart-gardening-kit-no-soldering","description":"\u003ch3\u003e(This has been replaced by Smart Garden System Version 2)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.switchdoc.com\/collections\/smart-garden-system\/products\/smart-garden-system-v2-raspberry-pi-based-smart-gardening-kit-no-soldering\"\u003eSee Version 2.0 here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eSmart Garden System - Raspberry Pi Plant Watering and Environmental Kit\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/files\/IMG_4542_large.JPG?v=1540776048\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a perfect project kit for advanced kids with some help from the adults and for adults trying to learn some new things.   We have done this before with our successful OurWeather kickstarter so we know what we are talking about.   People all over the world have built the OurWeather weather station with great success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmart Garden System (or SGS for short) is an introductory, easy to build Raspberry Pi based environmental monitoring and plant watering system using advanced sensors to monitor the soil moisture, monitor the sunlight, watch the air quality and monitor temperature and humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is designed to be easily and simply put together and tested with \u003cstrong\u003eNo Soldering Required!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd you get all the source code for the Smart Garden System software so you can do what you want.   Modify the code to your own application!  Add sensors!  Add functions!  Add more plants!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNow all Kits include the 3D Printed Stand!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Demo of the Smart Garden System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/etwn5AwXLPw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease go to the Product Support Forum for the Smart Garden System on www.switchdoc.com for comments and questions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- (December 27, 2018) Version 009 - Fixed minor incompatibility with new PubNub library\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- (November 26, 2018) Version 1.3 of Assembly Manual Released - Fixed 8 Pixel Grove Connector Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- (October 29, 2018) Version 008 - Initial Production Release \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the Smart Garden System?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SmartGardenSystem is an introductory, easy to build Raspberry Pi based environmental monitoring and plant watering system using advanced sensors to monitor the soil moisture, monitor the sunlight, watch the air quality and monitor temperature and humidity.

beloved (most of the time) CTO, Dr. John Shovic, always insists on putting in something about the theory behind the project. Here are his thoughts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a great project to design and build.   It was really an interesting process learning about the sensors, how to interconnect them and then learning about flow meters, USB Pumps and especially the software bringing them all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere is the science and engineering in this project?  All through it from the bottom to the top. I could go through the entire system, but that will have to wait.  The most interesting points?   One, we are using \u003cstrong\u003efeedback in the system\u003c\/strong\u003e.  Negative feedback to be exact.    We aren't just watering on a timer, we are looking at the soil moisture and if it is high enough, we don't water.  We don't water unless we need to.   Very cool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the sensors we have in this project are amazing.   For example, the Air Quality sensor is very, very sensitive.   We can detect hairspray from 50 feet away (more on that in an update).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirdly, I got a lot out of learning how to display the data from Smart Garden on the Blynk IOT App for Android and iPhones and I had a lot of fun designing the Alexa app, although they made me take out all the cool statements. Such as  asking Smart Garden \"who is the coolest person you know?\". The answer to that was obvious to me, but since it was debatable, we removed it.  :(\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-10-28T18:38:15-07:00","created_at":"2018-10-28T17:04:10-07:00","vendor":"SwitchDoc Labs","type":"Retired","tags":["Garden"],"price":13500,"price_min":13500,"price_max":13500,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":14500,"compare_at_price_min":14500,"compare_at_price_max":14500,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":12602591871020,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0340-SGSKIT-DSBT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Smart Garden System (Version 1 -

beloved (most of the time) CTO, Dr. John Shovic, always insists on putting in something about the theory behind the project. Here are his thoughts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a great project to design and build.   It was really an interesting process learning about the sensors, how to interconnect them and then learning about flow meters, USB Pumps and especially the software bringing them all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere is the science and engineering in this project?  All through it from the bottom to the top. I could go through the entire system, but that will have to wait.  The most interesting points?   One, we are using \u003cstrong\u003efeedback in the system\u003c\/strong\u003e.  Negative feedback to be exact.    We aren't just watering on a timer, we are looking at the soil moisture and if it is high enough, we don't water.  We don't water unless we need to.   Very cool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the sensors we have in this project are amazing.   For example, the Air Quality sensor is very, very sensitive.   We can detect hairspray from 50 feet away (more on that in an update).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirdly, I got a lot out of learning how to display the data from Smart Garden on the Blynk IOT App for Android and iPhones and I had a lot of fun designing the Alexa app, although they made me take out all the cool statements. Such as  asking Smart Garden \"who is the coolest person you know?\". The answer to that was obvious to me, but since it was debatable, we removed it.  :(\u003c\/p\u003e"});window.BOLD.common.Shopify.saveVariant(12602591871020, { variant: {"id":12602591871020,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0340-SGSKIT-DSBT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Smart Garden System (Version 1 - Retired) - Raspberry Pi based Smart Gardening Kit - No Soldering!","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":13500,"weight":454,"compare_at_price":14500,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"088234728839","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}, inventory_quantity: 0, product_id: 1406996742188, product_handle: "smart-garden-system-raspberry-pi-based-smart-gardening-kit-no-soldering", price: 13500, variant_title: "Default Title", group_id: '', csp_metafield: {}});window.BOLD.common.Shopify.saveProduct("sunairplus-solar-controller-charger-sun-tracker-data-gathering-grove-header", 229315870750, {"id":229315870750,"title":"SunAirPlus - Solar Controller \/ Charger \/ Sun Tracker \/ Data Gathering Grove\/Header","handle":"sunairplus-solar-controller-charger-sun-tracker-data-gathering-grove-header","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:  As of April 27, 2020 this product has been replaced by SunAirPlus2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRETIRED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunAirPlus - Solar Cell Controller Board and Sun Tracker for Arduinos \/ Raspberry Pi \/ Cell Phone Charging.

The INA3221 allows you to monitor all of the major currents and voltages in the system (Battery \/ Solar Panels \/ Load - Computer ). You can tell what your solar power project is doing in real time. Here are some results from the SunAirPlus board using the onboard INA3221. You can see that the battery is almost fully charged and the solar cell voltage (actually a variable power supply on the test bench) is 5.19V and it is supplying 735mA. The Output voltage is 4.88V because we are fiddling with the board.

I could go through the entire system, but that will have to wait.  The most interesting points?   One, we are using \u003cstrong\u003efeedback in the system\u003c\/strong\u003e.  Negative feedback to be exact.    We aren't just watering on a timer, we are looking at the soil moisture and if it is high enough, we don't water.  We don't water unless we need to.   Very cool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the sensors we have in this project are amazing.   For example, the Air Quality sensor is very, very sensitive.   We can detect hairspray from 50 feet away (more on that in an update).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirdly, I got a lot out of learning how to display the data from Smart Garden on the Blynk IOT App for Android and

Did it on an average power of less than 5mA which made solar power easy to add. No power. No wires. More on this project in the next few weeks. Here is the complete project on a walkabout near the Spokane river. 433 meter (1,473 feet) range.

It was specifically designed to connect a WeatherRack westher sensor array to a Weather Board based system connected to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi computer. The receiver is read by the host computer through an I2C interface. Much easier and more available than a serial interface. And yes, it has Grove connectors throughout the system. The WXLink comes preloaded with the software to support a WeatherRack and AM2315.

We thought it would be cool to put a Solar Powered remotely controlled box down in the Caribbean on the island nation of Curacao, and \u003ca title=\"Project Curacao Introduction – Part 1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.switchdoc.com\/project-curacao-introduction-part-1\/\"\u003eProject Curacao\u003c\/a\u003e was born. SunAir generation 1 is shown to the left. The next step was to put this fully debugged system in a weather proof box and write the 8000 lines of code that would control it. We ended up putting two complete SunAir 2nd generation solar systems in the box for redundancy and system isolation. One for the Raspberry Pi and one for the Battery WatchDog Arduino which monitored and controlled the power for the Raspberry Pi.

Clouds happen). Finally, we had enough information and use cases to design and build the 3rd generation of SunAir and the heavily instrumented version, SunAirPlus.

We thought it would be cool to put a Solar Powered remotely controlled box down in the Caribbean on the island nation of Curacao, and \u003ca title=\"Project Curacao Introduction – Part 1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.switchdoc.com\/project-curacao-introduction-part-1\/\"\u003eProject Curacao\u003c\/a\u003e was born. SunAir generation 1 is shown to the left. The next step was to put this fully debugged system in a weather proof box and write the 8000 lines of code that would control it. We ended up putting two complete SunAir 2nd generation solar systems in the box for redundancy and system isolation. One for the Raspberry Pi and one for the Battery WatchDog Arduino which monitored and controlled the power for the Raspberry Pi. You can see the SunAirPlus prototype board in the lower part of the picture to the right of the Pi Camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.switchdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_1229.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-1303\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_IMG_1229-225x300.jpg?15164172077654986083\" alt=\"Solar Power\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 6 months in the Sun, with the box running most of the time, we went down and added more solar panels and a SwitchDoc WatchDog Timer to cover the possibility of a code hang and also recovery from loss of power (brownouts tend to make computers not reboot on a reliable basis - recovery from brownouts is a necessary function on solar powered system. Clouds happen). Finally, we had enough information and use cases to design and build the 3rd generation of SunAir and the heavily instrumented version, SunAirPlus.

The library is easy to use and hides the complexity of the interface to the sensors. The C++ class has two Interrupt Service Routines (ISR), one each for the anemometer and the rain bucket. The wind vane is connected to an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input pin on the Arduino. Note that the C++ class is designed to be a singleton, in other words, you only can interface one sensor package without some additional work (mostly involving Interrupts). The article in \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry-pi-geek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Geek magazine\u003c\/a\u003e discusses this in detail. There are two main modes for the class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE mode means return immediately after asking for the wind speed. The wind speed is averaged at sampleTime or since you last asked, whichever is longer. If the sample time has not passed since the last call, the class returns the last calculated wind speed. That means that you will never see changes faster than the specified sample time. This allows you to not wait for the wind speed, you can just grab the last valid reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY mode means to wait for the set sample time to expire and return the average wind speed at the expiration. You would use this if you want to make sure you have the latest value and your program architecture allows you to pause for the sample time before continuing. Which mode you use depends on the specific software architecture of your Arduino application. Typically, I use SDL_MODE_SAMPLE because I can tolerate not having a current value of wind speed.

The library is easy to use and hides the complexity of the interface to the sensors. The C++ class has two Interrupt Service Routines (ISR), one each for the anemometer and the rain bucket. The wind vane is connected to an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input pin on the Arduino. Note that the C++ class is designed to be a singleton, in other words, you only can interface one sensor package without some additional work (mostly involving Interrupts). The article in \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry-pi-geek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Geek magazine\u003c\/a\u003e discusses this in detail. There are two main modes for the class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE mode means return immediately after asking for the wind speed. The wind speed is averaged at sampleTime or since you last asked, whichever is longer. If the sample time has not passed since the last call, the class returns the last calculated wind speed. That means that you will never see changes faster than the specified sample time. This allows you to not wait for the wind speed, you can just grab the last valid reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY mode means to wait for the set sample time to expire and return the average wind speed at the expiration. You would use this if you want to make sure you have the latest value and your program architecture allows you to pause for the sample time before continuing. Which mode you use depends on the specific software architecture of your Arduino application. Typically, I use SDL_MODE_SAMPLE because I can tolerate not having a current value of wind speed.

It is designed to connect up to any source of data from sensors connected to the Mini Pro LP Arduino compatible low power computer board. It was specifically designed to connect an WeatherRack weather sensor array and an AM2315 to a OurWeather Weather Kit. The receiver is read by the host computer through an I2C interface. Much easier and more available than a serial interface. And yes, it has Grove connectors throughout the system. The WXLink LoRa comes preloaded with the software to support a WeatherRack and AM2315 on the transmit side and OurWeather V031 and above supports the receiver.

It was specifically designed to connect an WeatherRack weather sensor array and an AM2315 to a OurWeather Weather Kit. The receiver is read by the host computer through an I2C interface. Much easier and more available than a serial interface. And yes, it has Grove connectors throughout the system.

No wires.   With A Yagi antenna on both ends, the range should be about 6000m or 6km.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReceiver Condition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaximum Transmitter Distance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBehind 3 Interior \/ 1 Exterior Wall\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;\"\u003e220 meters \/ 720 feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBehind 1 Exterior Wall\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;\"\u003e438 meters \/ 1437 feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eYagi Antenna on Transmitter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;\"\u003e1600 meters \/ 5200 feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"fit\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/013\/256\/514\/1b0eabea56828d96db9cc80fe5b32134_original.jpg?w=456\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1470171875\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;q=92\u0026amp;s=0c20fca07b3d29bfc1d5c391dc919bfb\" alt=\"Solar Powered Mini Pro LP on a Walkabout\"\u003eSolar Powered Mini Pro LP on a Walkabout.

You can see from these graphs the the battery on board is fully charged (when that happens SunAirPlus turns the charging circuitry off to protect the battery and the solar panel voltage climbs from 5V to about 7V.

It is designed to connect up to any source of data from sensors connected to the Mini Pro LP Arduino compatible low power computer board. It was specifically designed to connect a WeatherRack weather sensor array to a Weather Board based system connected to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi computer. The receiver is read by the host computer through an I2C interface. Much easier and more available than a serial interface. And yes, it has Grove connectors throughout the system. The WXLink LoRa comes preloaded with the software to support a WeatherRack and AM2315.

It is designed to connect up to any source of data from sensors connected to the Mini Pro LP Arduino compatible low power computer board. It was specifically designed to connect a WeatherRack weather sensor array to a Weather Board based system connected to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi computer. The receiver is read by the host computer through an I2C interface. Much easier and more available than a serial interface. And yes, it has Grove connectors throughout the system.

ThunderBoard Lightning Detection Extender Kit for OurWeather

Now you can detect Lightning with your OurWeather all-in-one Weather station.

This extender kit brings integrated Lightning detection to the OurWeather system.   No soldering required!

The ThunderBoard Lightning Detector Extender Kit for the OurWeather Weather Kit has a total of five parts:

  • Part A - Thunder Board I2C Lightning Detector

  • Part B - 3.3V to 5.0V I2C Hub and Voltage Translator

  • Part C - 1 20cm Grove Cable

  • Part D - 1 50cm Grove Cable

  • Part E - 1 female to female jumper wire

How does this Kit work?

The ThunderBoard Lightning detector is based on an AS3935.   The ThunderBoard picks up lightning, puts it through a complex evaluation algorithm and then reports the results to the OurWeather Weather Station.

The Austrian Microsystems AS3935 is a programmable Lightning Sensor IC that detects the presence and approach of potentially hazardous lightning activity in the vicinity and provides an estimation on the distance to the head of the storm. The embedded lightning algorithm checks the incoming signal pattern to reject the potential man-made disturbers and various noise sources.

The AS3935 can also provide information on the noise level and inform OurWeather of the noise. It comes pre-calibrated, meaning that you don’t have to write complex frequency calculation code, you can simply program the correct calibration details and get cracking finding storms.

Every 5 seconds, OurWeather polls the ThunderBoard and picks up the latest information.

 

New Tutorial on Thunder Board

Here is a new video tutorial for Tuning the ThunderBoard by Dr. Shovic

What Does the ThunderBoard Kit Report?

The ThunderBoard Extender Kit supplies information to the OurWeather software.  Info will show up on the www.swithdoc.com/OurWeatherPage.html reporting page.

If you would like to read the lightning values directly, and you have an OurWeather kit, type the following into your browser:

http://IPNumber/ThunderBoardLast

 

where is the IP number of your OurWeather unit. For example, if your IP address of the OurWeather unit (viewable when the OurWeather Unit boots up - See OurWeather Assembly and Operations manual) is 192.168.1.141, then you would type:

http://192.168.1.141/ThunderBoardLast

and OurWeather returns the following to your browser:

{"ThunderBoardLast": "6 km,03/31/2018 19:06:38,6,Lightning detected,03/31/2018 19:06:38,1", "id": "1", "name": "OurWeather", "connected": true}

    The fields in order are:

 

  •     as3935_LastLightning - Distance of the last lightning strike (e.g. 6 km)
  •     as3935_LastLightningTimeStamp - Time of the last lightning strike
  •     as3935_LastLightningDistance - integer distance (e.g. 7)
  •     as3935_LastEvent - The last event recorded by the ThunderBoard (see below)
  •     as3935_LastEventTimeStamp - Time Stamp of last event
  •     as3835_LightningCountSinceBootup - Number of lightning strikes since bootup

Optional ThunderBoard Lightning Simulator
