Last thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    I hope we dont get the rain that we got last month, they estimate we had 300-400mm in the hills above our local water catchment and it wiped out the Reservoir.

    The weather station is all DIY built around ESP boards, some temp probes and BGT-W815S pro. I scored for free, as only the wind speed/direction is working, the temp/pressure and rain all seem to supply corrupted data

      Oh nice! I’ve been wanting some fancy thing like this: https://ambientweather.com/ws-5000-ultrasonic-smart-weather-station

      But that’s the most expensive one. The cheapest is about $150 USD. But I have trouble buying a cheap one when the expensive ones have so much more, but the expensive ones are too expensive 😆. Also I don’t have anywhere to put it anyway. Not that keen on a pole in the middle of the lawn.
