Particle Photon based outdoor weather station

This is meant to track temp/humidity and listen for lightning. It's an outdoor based project for use with a particle photon, and utilizes MQTT to communicate. Every minute, it will send a temp and humidity value and every time a lightning strike is detected, it will end out a lightning event.

Needed

One SHT10 waterproof temp/humidity sensor One AD3935 lightning sensor One Particle photon

Compiling your project

When you're ready to compile your project, make sure you have the correct Particle device target selected and run particle compile <platform> in the CLI or click the Compile button in the Desktop IDE. The following files in your project folder will be sent to the compile service:

  • Everything in the /src folder, including your .ino application file
  • The project.properties file for your project
  • Any libraries stored under lib/<libraryname>/src

Potential future additions

I'm working on a PCB for this to make it easier to build. Not requireed, but why not. Then I can add an i2c grove type interface, and add support for other pluggable sensors. One thing I would like to do is add a geiger counter based on the pocket geiger solution. I may add some sort of light or UV sensor too.
