I threw a CD drive motor on a stick with plastic spoons and an ADC. Been logging data every second for a couple years. I think I'm near 20 million rows of unused data now.
I'm in similar situation with a small radio station. I logged every song played, and the upvotes and downvotes it got. Never made anything out of it.
a physical radio station?
Monitoring weather data at home is a cool project! I have a Davis station installed on a pole above my roof and it is interesting to see the difference between feelings and measures (esp. wind gust and rain rate). Anyway, to collect weather data from Davis station, I highly recommend https://www.smartbedded.com/wiki/index.php/Meteostick It is very simple to use and works really well - it is also supported by WeeWX th…

Not OP, but price and availability. Before about a year or two ago, it was a cheap-and-cheerful way to put some smarts into any project. Now it's impossible to get at twice the price, and the alternatives aren't quite there yet in terms of software support. I still like reading about the projects you can do with it though. I find it inspiring for my own side things (even though fewer of them involve the RPi itself --…
To get things clear, I love RPi and use rp2040 for lot of my projects. Use to go with RPi for small projects and now I have lot of ideas and unable to get a RPi for the last 1.5 yrs

how does that work? how do you get upvotes and downvotes? sounds interesting a physical radio station?
One of the most unexpected and wonderful things about my Ambient Weather station is that within its settings app, you can configure an additional URL for it to send periodic pings to. In my case, I whipped up ambient2mqtt[0] as a way to capture the output of the weather station locally and do what I want with it - in this case, post the data to MQTT and InfluxDB. A few years after that I also purchased a Purple Air P…
Thank you for ambient2mqtt! I have been using that for a bit over a year now to interface with home assistant
Thank you very much! You made my day.

What changed last year that made you sick of it?
The availability of Raspberry Pi is what made me sick
But, yea, it’s not really feasible to do these at home anymore, which is frustrating

I would love this for my David VP2 station. It looks like it’s not available in the United States but they say it’s resold by ambient weather. Does anyone know of an alternative source? If this is it that’s more than twice the EU price. https://ambientweather.com/amweatherbridgepro.html
