This site focuses on weather in and about Norwood, NY and St. Lawrence County.
-------------------------
This is a hobby project, and, while I work to have things as up-to-date and correct as I can, no guarantees are given about the information here.
-------------------------
As of June 2024, this site employs a homemade array of sensing and recording devices for local conditions (i.e., whatever is going on in my side yard). Non-local info is gathered from NWS websites and others and processed for presentation here.
The sensors are of my own design. Several of them use Arduino Nano microprocessors. All units involving motion employ LED motion sensors. Environmental conditions are gathered by a BME280 sensor. All units feed data directly via I2C serial communication to a Raspberry Pi 4.
The enclosures and support stuctures for the various elements were designed with Fusion 360 software, and 3d printed on a Bambu P1P printer. The various 'cameras' are gathered with several different Single Board Computers employing a couple different types of cameras. An old Dell computer running Linux handles a lot of the other non-sensor data, including the "weather cam" pictures and movies, as well as various items from the National Weather Service.
The Adruino microprocessors are programmed using Arduino's variant of C++. Software for all data collection, processing, webpage creation, and most of the web transmission is written principally in Python 3, running on the Pi 4, which connects to my home network (and on to the web) via Wifi.
Alas, the software is still under development (and probably always will be...). I'm swatting bugs as fast as they buzz up. It's a big bunch'o'code, and host of mechanical/electronic oddities, and from time to time things get a bit askew. Working on it. It keeps me out of the pool hall.
