Over the past few days I have taken down the birdhouse to do the temperature sensor upgrade. The birdhouse now has the scale with the TSic 306 temperature sensor and matching Grasshopper electronics. I have also done some minor changes to the LoRaWAN payload. An additional byte has been added to expand the range of the scale weight.

I was also able to look at the birdhouse after having been hung in a tree for about four months. There were lots of dead little flies inside and I found about half a dozen little spiders living between the floor board and the scale. There was one small wet stain on the inside of the scale which probably got there during one of the downpours but otherwise looked harmless. It looks like the scale held up nicely even with all the dead bugs and spider webs inside.
