Raspberry Pi or ARDUINO

Post by KE8AGR_Ted »

I've never used either before, but which would be best to setup a weather station. Ultimately I would like it to have Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, Wind Speed & Wind Direction. I would like to feed the data in real time and log the historical data. Possibly feeding the data to Weather Underground. Initially I will likely connect 1 or 2 sensors and do the programming to get the hang of things. Thanks, Ted

You can do it with either processor. It may be easier to do it with an Arduino, if you're just getting started.

You would want to use something like a WiFi feather, so that you can get the network connectivity to Weather Underground.

You can use a logger featherwing for the data logging.
