I write about things that interest me here. You can find posts ranging from programming to photography to music to really anything I find interesting.

2018-05-18 - Weatherstation: Lots Happening
Starting in April, I have started working on the weather station project again, and I have failed to make any updates since. So I’m going to try to write everything I have done in this past month and a half.
🐙 GitHub Repository 📓 WeatherStation Posts This is an ongoing project, see the above links for more information on the project A number of years ago, my father got a home weather station for his birthday.
2018-02-22 - rcProtocol update
It has been far too long since the last update, near the end of October. Since then I have been able to make a bunch of improvements. When I last posted, the remote could only pair and connect, now constant communication works, telemetry works, the remote even reconnects after resets.

🔡 Github Repository 📕 Library Documentation rcProtocol (working title) is a protocol for communications between transmitters and receivers. It is not for receivers communicating with flight controllers. I don’t intend this to become a standard, though that would be fun; I intend this to be a niche system for hobbyists who want to make their own remote system without going through the effort of creating their own communications protocol.
2017-10-29 - RC Remote API: Pairing/Connecting
I was able to get progress on the api for my remote. It can now successfully pair, and connect. I still have yet to send a steady stream of data; That will be my next goal.
2017-10-24 - RC Remote Software
Over the course of the past year or so, I have torn apart an old RC Remote and put new electronics in. I think I have blogged about it before I rebuilt my website, and hope to restore those lost posts some day.
2017-06-17 - Weatherstation: Software
I finished wiring the station, though I would not be surprised if I need to make some last minute adjustments. The last bit of wiring I have done is interfacing with the existing hardware. The rain gauge and anemometer connect directly to the board with an internal pull-up activated.
2017-04-15 - Weather Station Part 2
I have started working on the main board for the station. Adding the transceiver, barometer, temperature, and humidity sensor. It is going pretty well so far. I have not yet tested the rf24 module, though the two other modules I have confirmed to work.
I am starting a weather station project, taking an old broken weather station, and getting it to work with Arduino and a Raspberry Pi web server. After a quick inspection of the ports on the old station transmitter, I found that the weather vain uses a 4 wire plug.
