Rain Gauge Heater Project
Over the last few years, when snow has fallen the rain gauge stopped working. It then took a number of days before operation was resumed. When the gauge started working again, the water would be measured at the wrong point in time indicating it's raining(snowing) when it's not. So I have built a rain gauge heater... click here to see project page.

Raspberry PI - OLED
Here is a short video of my latest additions to my Raspberry PI. I have connected an i2c bus OLED display to show the current settings of the NTP system, i2c compass and the upcoming 1Wire rain gauge heater. As the PI is headless, this gives me the status of all the running control systems without needing to login into it.
Raspberry PI - I2C Compass
My latest mini project was to get a feel for the I2C bus ont he Raspberry PI. So I chose to fit a compass, but not for the PI but for the weather station anemometer, read on... Raspberry PI Compass

Raspberry PI Projects
After about a year or so of having a couple of Raspberry PIs I have at last got them interfaced to the real world, well realish. Two projects, so far!.. more to come, we hope. A Stratium 1 NTP server and a Nixie Tube GPS time source.

Lightning Radar & Weather Station 2013
I have just got around to publishing the construction details of two of my biggest projects this year (2013), These both started at the beginning of the year. I took the Weather Station down end of last year (2012) and decided it needed a make over, see here, and also I built a new lightning radar as the last one rotted away!
