Description

OurWeather Complete Weather Station
Connect your Wind Report to the Weather Underground!
WHAT IS OURWEATHER?
OurWeather is a connected weather station containing 7 different sensors that will teach about electronics, software and the weather.   It contains all the sensors and wires to make a fully functional, WiFi weather station.   No software programming is required, it works right out of the box. However, if you want to change the way OurWeather works, add your own software or do something entirely different, we have the Open Source software available.   And what is one of the coolest features of OurWeather?
Building the kit requires NO SOLDERING.
It is all plug and play based building, with a full step-by-step photograph based instruction manual.  It is a safe and educational way to learn about weather, electronics and science topics.
Best of all - you can take your own Weather Station and connect it to the Weather Underground to view it from anywhere on your computer or smart phone! Look at the computer and iPhone screenshots in the pictures above for Weather Underground displays of our own Weather Station Data.
Please note:
This unit does
NOT
come with a box or base for mounting, but you can order it or make one using their 3D printer code (available from their website). I actually put mine is a tupperware sealed container up under the eaves of our roof outside the house.
3D PRINTED OURWEATHER BASE (NOT INCLUDED)
If you have a 3D Printer, SwitchDoc Labs can provide the code to make your own OurWeather base.   If you don't, you can buy one on the SwitchDoc Labs Store

MORE TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
ADVANCED USAGE
OurWeather is designed to be accessable to a wide range of different ages and skill levels.  Out of the box, you can easily see and get weather information from OurWeather by the supplied web page and included OLED display.  Plug it in, and it works.
For those who wish to dig in a little deeper and build software on Raspberry Pis to read information from OurWeather and use it in their own programs, we provide a REST interface.   Simple to use.   Let’s say your OurWeather is located at the address of 192.168.1.134 (OurWeather will tell you what address it is at during startup after you have set it up).  For example:  192.168.1.134/OutdoorTemperature  will return:
{“OutdoorTemperature”: 22.10, “id”: “1”, “name”: “OurWeather”, “connected”: true}
Very cool.   Actually, 22.10 is in Celsius so it is a nice temperature.  72F.
All the weather information is available by similar calls.
TECHNOLOGY
OurWeather is based on a special board designed by SwitchDoc Labs called WeatherPlus.
WeatherPlus contains an ESP8266 processor (includes WiFi) and does not require an external computer to run.  If you want to program the WeatherPlus board, we supply all of the source code to allow you to do that.   The software for the board is written using the Arduino IDE with the ESP8266 libraries added.
OurWeather is a very open project that can be used many different ways.  It is
not
a sealed unit that can not be modified.   We embrace the open source model of software!
THE WEATHERPLUS BOARD
OurWeather contains the customizable WeatherPlus board
OURWEATHER - COMPLETE WEATHER KIT
The OurWeather station is a complete weather kit that you can build and modify yourself.
"Overall, this was a fun build that took a total of about a leisurely weekend to complete. The hardware and software is well thought out and easy to assemble.
SwitchDoc labs delivered exactly the experience we were hoping for…although there are some blinky lights on the circuit board just to make it feel like a STEM project. ;)" Rene D.
"We have an almost 4 year old daughter and we are starting to introduce technology. We are combining my love of weather and my wife's IT background
to explore weather together as a family. We are very excited about the possibilities OurWeather will bring for us to learn."  G.K.
" I'm really pleased with SwitchDoc products and had a good time putting it together today! I am so excited to get my weather station up and running
,
so glad you guys made the weather kit available. It's a great introductory project for me." Laura
