Hi
I'm a newbye and i have only same soldering experience.
I have 3 external units (wind,rain guage and Temperature/humidity) that works fine with a similar auriolduino board (without SHT).
I can use my actual sensors plus a solar radiation sensor explained in this forum with a weatherduino board.
Thank you for your help

I'd say yes. Are the sensors from a fine offset station?

Welcome aboard by the way.

Hi loriz71, welcome

My reply is based on suposing that your 3 external sensor are from a Auriol weather station. The WeatherDuino Pro2 RX software / hardware, is able to receive data from your Auriol wind and rain sensors but not data from Temperature / Humidity sensor. This is because the Temp/Hum data from Auriol weather stations are not very reliable. You must build a Radiation Shield and install inside it a SHT1x (recommended) or a DHT22 sensor.

No. Is for a weather station sold only un Italy (De Agostini), but use the auriol protocol. I use a sketch wrote by cillo273 (a man that leave in sicily) from auriows forum.
Originally the weather station have 4 sensors. Wind, rain, T/H and a pyranomether. The last one is dead (two times).
I am very interested in the sensor of the solar radiation and uv to get back all the weather data that interest me .

If I understand correctly I should build two weatherduino pro 2 tx ( one for T / H and one for solar UV radiation ) . For the sunscreen I could reuse what I already have ( daytime ventilated).
Is possible reuse my actual arduino hardware for the receiver (arduino 2009 plus bmp085 and FM Super-het Receiver 434.15 from AUREL)?

You only need one TX board. You can connect the T/H sensor and Solar / UV sensors to the same board.

Maybe it is . Try to run the WeatherDuino Pro2 RX software with your hardware. If you get data from your Auriol wind and rain sensors it works. Before upload to Arduino, don't forget to configure it to use Auriol wind and rain instruments.

For testing purposes I also use one AUREL receiver module. It is very good, perhaps one of the best.

I tested the latest version with source available for auriolduino and it works perfectly (with some adjustments due to the absence of some parts). I'm ordering the missing parts (lcd, ds3231, DHT22) to complete the receiver.
I then picked up in my pyranometer and saw that uses a photodiode as a sensor. I saw the link (http://www.instesre.org/construction/pyr...ometer.htm)
and, having already the photodiode and the houses with the diffuser in teflon, I would like to achieve something similar. Do you think I can amplify the signal with the same system indicated for the solar sensor on the forum.

I'm not surprised that it works, because the hardware architecture is not very different from that for which the Cillo code was made.
By the way, the cillo273 sketch is a great piece of code. I would like to have expertise to program at that level.

Thanks for sharing that link and for the partial datasheet of the photodiode. Do you have a link for the complete datasheet?
I took a look in the described system, and it seems to me that it basically uses the same principle of my solar sensor, so a signal amplification as I used but with greater gains in the OP, might work.
If you calculate the gain in order to obtain an output that varies between 0 and 1.1V (for better resolution, I use 1.1Volt as reference voltage for the ADC) the WeatherDuino Pro2 TX unit can read it.

Just for curiosity: How your station sends the data from "pyranometer" to your receiver? Is it wired to the receiver?

I have to study to do that ☺☺☺

Is a 433 Mhz wireless sensor but have sale hardware problem (i have 3 off them but always don't trasmit nothing

I don't know, but maybe them are transmiting with a protocol that your receiver can't decode.

I think it's a question of construction . Many of the owners of my own weather station no longer running the pyranometer . Not even the original receiver receives nothing (which is the work of Cillo allowed to also receive this sensor ).

Today I tried to measure the voltage produced by my photodiode with a 235 ohm R in parallel. I recorded a maximum of 330 mV (weather stations near me have recorded about 660 w / m 2). I believe that by calibrating a little the resistance we can get a 1.1 volt (considering that from me 1300 w / m2 have a limit more than ample))
