This is were I will be documenting my work in creating a DIY weather station for monitoring and recording my own local weather in southern Maine. The goal of this project is to both build a weather station and to get ROS2 programming experience, so I will be utilizing other projects and advice to create my weather station and convert the code to ROS2.

In this first blog post I will be going over the hardware chosen for the project. This may not be a complete list yet as there are likely additional cables connectors and housings I will discover I need as the project continues.

Main Hardware and Sensors

Extras

I followed an already existing guide to initially order the hardware and will probably use it as a reference to software construction as well. I added the UVB / UVA sensor because I want to monitor the changing UVB levels as we go through Grand Solar Minimum. That's all for now next post will be about installing ROS2 on the raspberry pi3.
