The rest is fairly accurate, now.<br \/>\nThe big stop in getting back online was placement of the computers and the weather station. The USB extender I had planned to use was unreliable and after a month of trying to get it to stop crashing the system, I gave up on it. Currently the laptop sits beside the weather station, but this configuration cannot be permanent.<br \/>\nAlso, the station is now 6 years old and when I had it down, I found that the solar rechargeable batteries have expired. Replacement cost $150. So I&#8217;m now investigating a new replacement station.<br \/>\nAlso the software I&#8217;ve been using, FreeWX-Wi, has stopped development and no more fixes will be issued. I was having problems with one temperature sensor not reporting correctly in the software. So I need to try implementing a new software package.\u00a0 For now I&#8217;ll continue to use it to display current conditions.<\/p>\n<p>So where does this leave me. Pondering over a new more accurate weather station and a shiny new site and setup.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, the site will offer basic data information updated every minute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After being offline for almost 1 year, I&#8217;ve got the old weather station back online &#8211; sort of. https:\/\/didsburywx.ca\/ I&#8217;ve ran into glitches, delays and mainly lack of time to put into this project.
