RPi solar-weather-station

Hello folks,

I came here, to present my "little" weekend-project, occupying some of my following weekends.
It is a solar-powerd weather station with wifi, based upon a RPi model A and some sensors.
Pictures of the hardware so far are on my flickr:

As you may see, it is some kind of hackadelic construction with meters of enamelled wire and some SMD parts where needed 

That's all for now.

Greetings

That wiring certainly doesn't look like the easy way of doing it!

If you are doing a lot of that sort of point to point wiring, have a look for some Kynar Wrapping Wire, it's a heck of a lot easier to work with (same sort of diameter, but just strip it and it's pre-tinned.)

It took a little bit more than a few weekends, but after a little bit of adding details it seems to work for now.
Pictures can be seen in the linked flickr album.
It currently can mesure temeprature, pressure, humidity, rain and wind direction, wind speed gets added later.

It is easier than many other ways and it mostly reduces mistakes as its mostly point to point wiring, but for more than prototypes it is not suited.
