Stevenson Screen for F5 MicroCan (iButton) sensors

pinshape

Summary This Stevenson Screen for 1-wire F5 MicroCan (iButton) sensors measures and logs temperature and humidity data with ease. It's designed to be clipped together into a tower containing multiple sensors. The parts have two main components: one has a closed top for the top and bottom elements, while the other features holes for improved air circulation in the middle sections. To secure it to the ground, you'll need to add a stake to the bottom part at your preferred height. As this project is still under development, real-world testing is pending.

Designing This Project A colleague approached me with a question about how to protect sensors from direct sunlight and rain while experimenting. I began working in Fusion360 to create the parts. The clipping mechanism posed a challenge, requiring numerous prototypes until I settled on a simple ring design that clips onto each part securely. It turned out that straightforward ideas often surpass complex ones in effectiveness.
