Gopher WX Station

Description

This is just a little home project I have that mixes gopher, python, gnuplot, and shell scripting. The sensor is a BME280 that is connected to a raspberry pi as well as a simple bucket rain sensor. The page can be accessed at gopher://perilo.us or https://wx.perilo.us.

Features

It currently gathers temperature, humidity, air pressure, and rainfall. Temperature, humidity, and air pressure are captured every ten minutes and writen to a daily log file. This is done by configuring a crontab to run scripts/wxlog.py every ten minutes. This script also generates new year/month folders/files and a new daily log file if they don't already exist. Rain data is gathered by a background process, scripts/rain.py that must run as a background process to count the number of bucket tips in the rain sensor. This data is logged in a separate monthly rain folder.

Upon each new gopher request, it provides current weather data. Gnuplot is used to display data graphs in ascii format.

Todo

  1. Add anemometer
  2. Generate Heat Index
