ebay link of this thing with a decent picture

Note!!

Please don't edit the source code directly.

Please fork it, and submit a pull request.

How to get the code into your IDE:

1. Fork the code (to your GitHub profile).

2. Go to your Fork, click 'Clone or Download', copy that link

3)Eclipse: File -> Import -> Projects from Git -> Clone URI -> Paste your forked github link into 'URI', type in your GitHub username and password -> select 'store in secure store' -> next -> pick a password for eclipse -> next (you want master) -> change the directory to store the code on your PC if you want, hit next -> next (import existing eclipse projcets) -> next -> -> next...

Key:

🔑 = important

:squirrel: = important design decisions

❓ = question

Questions:

• ❓ Do we have to keep track of current draw and battery status (Page 2)?

  • He said we probably don't have to worry about this.

• ❓ Do we have to be aware of external temperatures to ensure we are in safe operating temperatures (Page 2)?

  • Probably not.

• ❓ Do we have to simulate the various display modes of the console. We transmit the data to the console, which displays it. (Page 3)?

  • This is in part 2 of the assignment.

• ❓ This thing has a solar panel. Do we have to simulate that?

  • Probably not.

• ❓ This thing communicates to the console (the display) via wireless communication. Do we have to factor in a delay of our output because of the transmission time?

  • Probably not.

What we're doing:

You are going to develop the core software for the Wireless Vantage Pro2 Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) (Product number: 6322) manufactured by Davis Instruments.

What should this software we make do?

• collect data measurements from all attached sensors of the device according to the device specifications (provided on the website),
• process the sensor data properly to serve (or send) it to the data monitoring devices.
  • These include Wireless Vantage Pro2 Console Receivers (Product number: 6316) and Wireless Weather Envoy (Product number: 6316) that transfers the incoming data to a stand-alone weather monitoring application running on your computer.
• Transfer the data between the weather station and receiver or envoy devices on a (wireless) IP network by serializing the data.

What features does this Wireless Vantage Pro2™ ISS Product number:6322 possess?

• 🔑 Detachable anemometer provides wind speed and direction and can be sited up to 40 ft. (12 m) above the other sensors.
• 🔑 rain collector
• 🔑 temperature and humidity sensors

Useful information from: Vantage Pro2 Wireless Stations Specification Sheet.pdf

Page 1:

• Wind sensor cable length

  • Cable Length, Anemometer: 40 feet (12 m) (included) 240 feet (73 m) (maximum recommended)
  • Note: Maximum displayable wind decreases as the length of cable increases. At 140’ (42 m) of cable, the maximum wind speed displayed is 135 mph (60 m/s); at 240’ (73 m), the maximum wind speed displayed is 100 mph (34 m/s).
    • :squirrel: When calculating the max wind speed for our random input generator, we need to factor in the cable length as a field.

• Rain Collector Type: Tipping spoon, 0.01" per tip for US versions, 0.2 mm for metric versions, 33.2 in^2 (214 cm ) collection area

• Temps:

  • Console Operating Temperature: +32° to +140°F (0° to +60°C)
  • Non-Operating (Storage) Temperature: +14° to +158°F (-10° to +70°C)

• Batteries:

  • Current Draw: 0.9 mA average, 30 mA peak, (add 120 mA for display lamps, add 0.125 mA for each optional wireless transmitter received by the console) at 4 - 6 VDC
