Finished projects and updates

[Today’s run: 4 miles]

1 – power meter is done and working

2 – LCD monitor is fixed and working

3 – Cesium clock sold on ebay, awaiting payment

Ongoing projects:

1 – autonomous weather station:  weather station is working,  the software handled the daylight savings time change in a smooth manner.  Now I need to work on power supply issues.  First part of that is to build a low-loss DC-DC power supply to run this thing off of batteries.  It looks like the current draw is going to be about 300 mA  (1/3 of a watt)  I will need to size battery so as to keep that running for a few days and eventually size solar panel to charge up that size of a battery.

2 – 40 db tap for the power meter:  I did some looking at Lowes today and did not find the plumbing parts that this guy uses on his project.   More work to be done.

3 – ?  I’m not sure what I have forgotten
