Vesper Lynd, appears in Casino Royale.
And is also the name I decided to use for my weather station project.
After a bit of radio silence, I am ready with something new. Which isn’t really new… It is the next version of my weather station PCB, Vesper rev. 1.1! Comparing it to the old version, a lot of things has changed, and hopefully that will make it even more reliable than it already is. One … Read more
YAY! Today was the day! I could finally get around to reflow one of my Vesper boards, and the first impression is pretty good, if I should say so. All components was reflowing just fine, and the amount of solder paste seems to be spot on too. But again, it should be so too when … Read more
Since I already got a few mails about how much it would cost to make one of my Vesper boards, I have put a list together of the parts needed for it. Quantity Description Name 2 Relays (HK19F-DC5V-SHG) 3 Terminal blocks 2 pole 1 SD card connector 2 RJ11 connectors 1 Voltage regulator (MCP1702T-3302E/MB) 1 100KΩ … Read more
Earlier today I got the PCB’s for my weather station controller, and while it isn’t perfect, it is absolutely usable. But in an attempt to make it as perfect as I can, I am trying to make some kind of system of what went wrong, and what I am going to do about it. So … Read more
For the first time in a long time, I got a weekend where I am not hospitalized, not sick, not in pain, not really anything wrong with me, so I can get some of my projects finished. Yesterday I finished the clamps for holding the pole for the weather sensors done, so today I decided … Read more
PCB After YEARS of waiting, at least! (or it feels like that) The PCB’s for my Electric Imp based weather station finally arrived. Top side looks good, and even the ID number for the pcb’s, added by iTead, is placed under a relay, so it will be hidden when assembled. But for some reason the … Read more
Ideas and drawings As my weather station project continues to make progress, I need to think about a way to mount the pole for the sensors, to my garage. Looking at other people’s experiences with having such sensors placed outside, I found that it needs to be very strong to keep up with the continuous … Read more
While we wait While waiting from the boards to arrive, I am going to write a bit about how the different values from the weather sensors are going to be read and calculated. The anemometer Inside the anemometer there is, what sounds to be, a reed switch. On the “rotor” (I have no idea what … Read more

The pcb I designed, along with many of the components on it, is getting so close to being ready, so all I am doing now is looking over the traces again, checking if they are as I like them, and for the first time, I tried to print it out on paper and test how … Read more
