Building An Over Engineered Weather Station
summary
A self-contained weather station combines an Arduino clone (ATmega328P, 16 MHz, 2 KB RAM, 32 KB flash) and a Raspberry Pi Model 2 talking over serial with request frames (≥6 bytes) and responses (≥7 bytes) with checksums; analog sensors feed the Arduino ADC, a 250 µs interrupt-driven real-time scheduler samples and services commands, data posts to a Node.js app on Heroku and a Postgres backup on a local Pi, graphs use 20‑minute granularity, rain/wind sensors planned, unit runs reliably.
