Weather Station Mk-I Part II
This post was originally published on October 26, 2017 at https://sparklechicken.net/channel/jakessbc Server Prep First and foremost, you need a standard LAMP stack. nginx can be substituted fro Apache if you are more comfortable with that, and I suppose that you could do this on a Windows server as well, but it would just be wrong to […]
Weather Station Mk-I Part I
This post was originally published on September 22, 2017 at https://sparklechicken.net/channel/jakessbc Kristi is enamored with weather data and this is a project that I’ve wanted to make for a little while now, so this one was particularly satisfying to get (mostly) finished. It’s still on a solderless breadboard and only measuring the weather inside […]
Strike and Dip Part VI
This post was originally published on October 25, 2017 at https://sparklechicken.net/channel/jakessbc Last week, the GPS sensor and SD card breakout finally arrived. They both work beautifully…as long as you don’t use the SD card reader with anything else. The combination of SD.h and SPI.h uses 50% of the Arduino Uno’s space for global variables right off […]
Strike and Dip Part V
This post was originally published on September 26, 2017 at https://sparklechicken.net/channel/jakessbc So I don’t have the GPS sensor or the SD card reader yet, but I know which ones I’m picking up. I’m trying my hand at getting a custom PCB made for this one, since I’m planning on actually creating a few pseudo-production model […]
Strike and Dip Part IV
This post was originally published on September 22, 2017 at https://sparklechicken.net/channel/jakessbc I know what you’re thinking. What happened to Part III? Well, Part III was a trash fire. So I scrapped most of the hardware design and the program and pretty much started from scratch. In the process, I swapped in a better display […]
Strike and Dip Part II
This post was originally published on September 16, 2017 at https://sparklechicken.net/channel/jakessbc Building on what I mashed together a couple of days ago, I’ve got an updated version of the Little Dipper. And I just named it. Like just now, as I was typing that. Good grief, I’m an idiot. Anyways, I’ve added a virtual […]
Strike & Dip Part I
This post was originally published on September 14, 2017 at https://sparklechicken.net/channel/jakessbc Strike and dip measurements are a fundamental part of field geology, and typically done by hand with a transit compass. There are apps out there for mobile devices that will automagically determine the strike and dip of an outcropping, but since the magnetometer is […]
