| Vantage Vue Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) and console |
A Davis Instruments Vantage Vue ISS collects weather data.
It is wirelessly relayed to a Vantage Vue console in the house. Web site: www.davisnet.com |
| Raspberry Pi | A Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ connects to the Vantage Vue console
by USB cable. The Pi is the computational heart of the
Milo weather station.
It hosts the underlying weather software and the web page you're viewing. Web site: www.raspberrypi.org |
| weewx | weewx (3.9.1-1) is the base software for the Milo weather station.
It runs on the Raspberry Pi gathering LOOP and ARCHIVE packets from
from the Vantage Vue and generating reports, graphs, gauges, and other
digital magic. weewx relies on "skins": customizable extensions that
perform most of the user-visible work. Web site: www.weewx.com |
| Steel Series Weather Gauges | Steel Series Weather Gauges (2.7.3) is a weewx skin displaying
weather information in a stylish, readable form. They look cool. Web site: github.com/gjr80/weewx-steelseries |
| Realtime gauge-data | Realtime gauge-data extension (0.3.7) is a weewx service that
takes LOOP packets from the Vantage Vue to create a file for
use by the Steel Series Weather Gauges. This produces a near real-time
display of weather parameters. This extension is the
glue allowing us to "watch" the weather. Web site: github.com/gjr80/weewx-realtime_gauge-data |
| Bootstrap skin | Bootstrap skin (2.25) gives the Milo weather pages a consistent look, feel, and menu.
This skin was contributed by a weewx user. It's based on the bootstrap
web app toolkit.
It has a clean look. This skin is a good starting point for a web site.
It also includes a nice history app, which produces the History page. Web site: github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer |
