Weather station.. done?

[Today: rest day, yesterday: 8 miles]

I think I have my weather station work pretty much wrapped up for now.

Yesterday and today I worked on it.  I bought an equipment box and a 12 foot treated 2×6. I dug a hole and got the pole installed.  I glued a board into the equipment box and mounted the various parts in there with standoffs and wood screws.

Today I was able to get the solar panel, equipment box and weather system mounted on the pole.

It seems to be working OK.

I still have a bit of a glitch when the Beaglebone Black computer reboots.  It does not always start the weather station successfully.  But if I log in and do it, then it works.  I think I may add some timing delay or something in order to have the system in better condition when the wview startup script fires up.
