I thought I'd share this with the FT community.

I'm nearing the end of a build of a weather station for my local club. We are in a location with no power or WiFi, so this is a DOLRAM station:
Dirt Cheap
Off-grid
Low maintenance
Realtime
Atmospheric
Monitoring

Project details on my personal blog at - http://tristantodd.com/i-built-my-first-weather-station/

In multiple posts I go through the design and equipment selection details.

What do you think?

Very cool though I wonder why you used both Uno and Mega boards. Why did you not move all the things the Uno was doing on to the Mega?

I used neither - I think you were looking at one of the projects that I had researched (and rejected). I used an off-the-shelf TP Link micro-router flashed with Meteobridge firmware. Then connected that to an off-the-shelf AcuRite system. A very nice clean, affordable setup IMHO!
