I have finally completed my Personal Weather Station project!

This was one of the very first adventures I embarked on when I got into electronics, and after countless years of working on and off this “weekend project”, I can finally just sit back, relax, and enjoy my mildly accurate, extremely localised weather data.

If you want to enjoy it too, you can check out the live feeds here:

As for the build, I’ve already compiled a complete tutorial on how to make it yourself, and posted it on Instructables. It’s presented in a much more thorough, detailed and accessible way there than I could ever put it here, so please do check it out if you’re interested. Moreover, here are quick links to the software, and here are the 3D models.

To my absolute surprise, my Instructable even got featured by the curators! Thanks to this amazing exposure, it gained more than a thousand views in less than a month ever since – and counting!

Now, even though I described this project as “completed”, I’ve already got some interesting ideas for future developments… But I’ll have to wait until next year for those.
