Stevenson Screen for DHT22/MPL3115A2 with Pie Tins
cults3d
Updated the probe for the DHT22 / MPL3115A2, the holes coming up through the base were enlarged and sensor mounting areas were tinkered with after my first print showed some issues. The DHT22 / MPL3115A2 probe was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online if you need any tweaking for your sensors. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2neqPEmkfyT This is a project that marries 3d printed Items (Base and Mount) with already available items (Pie Tins) to create a Stevenson Screen. To a purist, since all the pieces can be printed they should be. I do not have a 3d Printer yet, so to lower costs I used some readily available ready made items, the pie tins lower the over cost of the project. I initially started searching for a 3d project and found several suitable candidates, but the cost was to high. So I search for a way to lower the cost and found two: a Paper by the USDA - Forestry service titled "An inexpensive meteorological radiation shield for thermistors and thermocouples" it is available on many sites including: https://archive.org/details/inexpensivemeteo190barn A website called "Weather for Schools" it is a UK site that discusses how to use Plant Pot saucers as the Stevenson shield for for the Temperature and Humidity measurement.http://www.weatherforschools.me.uk/docs/weather_box_sensor.pdf I selected pieces of several remixes to work in tandem with the pie tins or plant saucers. I Used the following Electronic and off the shelf pieces for this project: Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi - ATSAMD21 + ATWINC1500https://www.adafruit.com/product/3061 - uses external Antenna Also available with a built in antenna - https://www.adafruit.com/product/3010 Terminal Block Breakout FeatherWing (The larger half size prototype board could be used)https://www.adafruit.com/product/2926 USB / DC / Solar Lithium Ion/Polymer charger - v2https://www.adafruit.com/product/390 Blocking Diode I used a Schottky Diode10SQ045 Medium 6V 2W Solar panel - 2.0 Watthttps://www.adafruit.com/product/200 Small Solar Panel Brackethttps://www.voltaicsystems.com/small-bracket Solar Extension with Exposed Leads to go into the electronics boxhttps://www.voltaicsystems.com/extension-with-exposed-leads Battery - Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 2500mAhhttps://www.adafruit.com/product/328 Thermistor to measure temp of batteryhttps://www.adafruit.com/product/372 3k 1/4w Resistor to limit current draw based on 6V 2W Solar panelhttps://www.jameco.com/z/CF1-4W302JRC-3k-Ohm-1-4-Watt-Carbon-Film-Resistor_690970.html Barometric Pressure & Altitude Sensor MPL3115A2https://www.adafruit.com/product/1893 Temperature / Humidity Sensor DH22https://www.adafruit.com/product/385 5" Steel Pie Tins or 6" Plastic Flower Pot saucers M/F pair 4 wire Black Pigtail Plastics Waterproof IP65 cable assembles.
