Hi,

So I re programmed all units taking extra care  with all configs, and I am still getting these readings for UV and srad, but only on the web interface. At the moment SRAD 22055 W/m2, UV 2231.1. The WD and RX screens both give 0 for these readings. 
Not sure what to check, I could try a different nano in the TX? Seems a bit strange.

Tonight we have wind and rain for the first time in about 6 weeks, wind and rain sensors are all working well.

Thanks

Hi Tom

Very strange indeed!
Can you please post both TX and RX Config_Options.h files?
Which are the RX and TX software versions?

One other thing I have just noticed: I am sending weather information to WU just to see if it all works ok ( it does!), but there is always a UV reading, it says 7 just now, neighbouring station is also 7. Is that coming from my station (with no UV module) or do WU do it automatically?
My weather station is https://www.wunderground.com/personal-we...=IBENNETT3, not at all accurate yet, sensors hanging out my kitchen window.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Thank you for having posted the files. Everything is fine with your config files. After trying to replicate the problem indeed I found a bug on the code which displays the web page. It will be fixed on the next software release. Thank you for having reported the problem.

Regarding the UV data in your WU page, hope WU have not started to insert arbitrary data on the users webpages.

Thanks for investigating this, I am relieved it is a software bug, I was slightly worried I had done something wrong when constructing the boards.

I will keep an eye on that WU UV reading  - I presume it should be blank as I have no UV sensor attached and that the WeatherDuino is not sending any information

My solar panel and regulator arrived today, just waiting for battery and then I will put up the station properly.

Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

It's confirmed that its a bug in the RX software, which only affects the Solar Rad and UV values shown on the web page when these sensors aren't used. As soon as possible I will release an updated version, maybe in a week or two.
Regarding the UV value on your WU page, seems that it is inserted by WU ( ), perhaps based on values from nearby weather stations.

My battery has arrived now. I got a  22aH battery and 50W panel, hope it is enough for dark Irish winters.

I have everything out on the edge of the garden with solar panel and battery all hooked up. About 30 or 40 metres from my receiver in the kitchen.

After a little bit of tweaking with aerials and placement, everything is working great. I eventually want to put it out in a field as far away as possible as my house and garden are surrounded by big trees. Luckily I am a farmer, have lots of space.

Anyway, I have some more questions/ observations:

I have run a wire from battery + to the bat terminal on TX board, so that battery voltage can be monitored. I measured the battery voltage with my multimeter as 12.8V, but the RX screen and web interface all report 12.3V, 0.5V of a difference. Is this normal / to be expected?
Do I just mentally add .5V on to whatever the RX says?

I am using SHT31 temp sensors and a BME280 pressure/temp sensor. Do people find they have to use calibration offsets for these or are they fairly accurate as they are? I have my height accurately set in the config. We have a potential heatwave here in Ireland next week and I would love to get accurate measurements of temp. 

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Is good to know that all is up and running. Now, its a great time to upgrade the software of all units with the latest version released yesterday.
It will be good to follow how your solar system will perform during the next winter. Hope you keep us informed. Sharing experiences is very important to all of us.

The precision of the battery voltage reading is mainly influenced by the precision of the R9 and R10 resistors on the TX board. Whenever is possible use metal film 1% resistors. Anyway we should always expect an error of 0.1V to 0.2V, due to errors in the Arduino ADC (Arduino ADC voltage reference is not always precisely 5V).

Personally I don't use any calibration offset in my config.

Got a bit of time to fiddle with the weatherduino recently..

Regarding the battery voltage reporting,I noticed that I had used a 3.3kohm instead of a 3 kohm resistor...I have swapped that out for a 3k resistor and the readings are much more as expected, 14.1V during daylight, 13.2 during early night, haven't been awake early enough to know what voltage is at 5 in the morning when sun comes up. It has been running "off grid" for nearly a month now, so all good.

I have attached the RX to a R Pi Zero w running Cumulusmx. The Pi Zero W is so small that I have managed to fit it all in the one box with the RX. I have used a buck regulator from 9v to 5v which comes with a built in micro USB connector for powering the Pi - it is the Geree in the photo. The regulator gets power from the 9v point on the barrel connector - hope that makes sense.
I think it is quite a neat and relatively compact system, only one power line coming in ( and only 1 mains socket needed).

               

I will post some pictures of the TX and solar power and sensor set up tomorrow when I have photos. When I was deciding if and how to build a weatherduino, I found photos very useful. Hopefully my photos might help others.
I must get a UV/solar board. And a leaf/soil interface board. And an Air Quality Monitor.  This stuff is fairly addictable.

Heeby

Hi Heeby ,

Congratulations! I really like your setup. As much as I know you are the first one using a R Pi Zero for running CumulusMX, resulting in a very compact system.
Thank you sharing your assembling and for having posted the pictures. Indeed, the posted pictures can be very useful to anyone which is building or planning build a similar system.

Once again, congratulations. Its always a pleasure knowing that one more person have a fully working system.

At my location, early in the morning, voltage battery usually is 12.3V to 12.4V during winter, and 12.5 ~ 12.7V on summer.

This stuff is fairly addictable.

Be careful, because it really is.
