This year, there was another Makelight competition. My contribution was an open-source cloud sensor, based on an Arduino UNO.
The Hardware
The project uses very basic components:
- Arduino UNO
- Wireless SD shield
- IR sensor MLX90614
- Light sensor TSL237
- Temperature sensor DS18B20
- 3x 4.7kOhm
- 1x 100nF
I milled a PCB and soldered all sensors on it.
The Software
I uploaded the software to github. The Arduino sketch is called DIY_SQM_Test_RAW.ino
The Arduino sketch reads the sensors and sends it to the serial port.
Instructions
For German instructions, please download this PDF.
I will add more details later.
