- 1. A Raspberry Pi enabled weather station Dom Storey, ([email protected]) IBM Hybrid Integration, Senior Inventor 24th March 2016 Weather Storey...
- 2. Why? Given a Pi as a birthday present... Hate wasting things.
- 3. Maplins also had a sale on… I can’t resist a sale!
- 5. Which publishes to Weather Underground using perl
- 6. and also had the ability to tweet Added “fortune” cookie tweets for variety! @weatherStorey
- 8. Section page More text on one line in this location if needed From Twitter to Facebook
- 9. How does it work?
- 10. Raspberry Pi setup Raspberry Pi powers the WH1080 weather station and uses pywss to collect the weather stats and publish them via a cron job every 10 minutes – Can power the base station as I have it connected to an Ethernet Powerline Adapter – These are then sent to a public weather underground api http://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=IHAMPSHI98 – And tweeted Every hour a fortune is also tweeted via cronjob using the pywss twitter perl script The Pi also runs “ddclient” and so can be contacted externally at a known domain – uses http://mooo.com/ (https://samhobbs.co.uk/2015/01/dynamic-dns-ddclient- raspberry-pi-and-ubuntu) – SSH port 22 mapped externally to stop simple hacking and ‘pi’ user disabled (http://raspi.tv/2012/how-to-create-a-new-user-on-raspberry-pi) - Allows access to NAS drives 10
- 11. Pi Negatives Model B can be slow but the Pi 2 and especially Pi 3 are now comparable with PC’s from 15 years ago – I remember spending £100 for a P120 rather than a P90! Only 100Mbs Ethernet Only 1GB RAM PiZero good for IoT low power applications Model B has been through 2 SD cards in 3 years of continuous running – Backing up a must Runs an OS so not good for very low latency millisecond applications – Computer not a microcontroller like an Arduino – Cannot Switch LED strips as they need ms addressing 11
- 12. I now have several Pi’s and so am officially addicted to Pi Model B - Home/ Weather station Pi Model B+ - Son’s Scratch and Minecraft Pi Pi 2 – MAME Arcade Machine Pi Pi Zero – Plan to make a doorbell tweeter Pi 3 - ???????
- 13. Any Questions?
