Greetings....
I want to build a budget yet decent quality weather station. After several days worth of Googling, I have come to the conclusion that only the Davis stuff is very reliable. However it is also relatively expensive. And besides... where's the fun of installing a Davis?
So I leaning heavily towards a 1-wire system.
I think that will give me the option of adding sensors as I feel like it. Plus it looks like it will be fun to put together, install, etc...
Initially all I want is Temp, humidity and a rain gage, then probably add barometer and anemometer later.
Obviously I'll need:
HTS3-R1-A -- Humidity/Temp/Solar
RG1-R1-A -- Rain Gauge w/Counter
1-wire Serial Adapter
cases for above
wire/connectors
some way to display on PC (Oww, etc..)
Here's why I am posting:
From what I can divine from the Hobby Board website, I can "daisy chain" the above sensors and not need any additional components or power??
Would a Power Injector and Universal Power adapter provide enough power to power all of the above plus barometer and anemometer if I add it later on?
Thanks!
