• Reminiscing: collected lots of data

  This has been running for almost 4 years lol... the position has changed a couple of times and that's primarily a problem with regard to the season/capturing the highest arc/intensity of the sun on the graphs. I used to have some really nice ones.

  It's still up, collecting data, sometimes there are down times like power loss.

  Also I built an anemometer a while back... this collects even more data. The one above is every 10 minutes everyday/when sun is up.

  The anemometer does batch collections of minutely of every second... and it tracks it locally on a text file in case it fails to upload... yeah there's more than 10 million rows of data now, just millwatts power generated per day lol.

  This uses plastic spoons now because the above made out of paper plates did fail eventually/get moldy from the rain.

  Also the hot-glued ruler above did not last long. I had to mount the DC motor to a flexing-flag-pole thing and then attach it to a chair.
