  "textContent": "For a while I've been meaning to write up the details of the Raspberry Pi weather station that I have built with my eldest daughter.  This project builds on a number of examples I've seen across the internet, particularly sensing the weather. This details how our system is put together.\n\nTemperature monitoring\n\nWe took two temperature sensors and mounted them in a garden post with one pushed down to the bottom for soil temperature and one in the cap for the air temperature.  The one-wire sensors can share the same three wires, so are both connected to a wire leading back to the Raspberry Pi through a hole drilled into the side of the post.  For waterproofing we surrounded the whole with hot glue. The post is situated in a shady spot and pushed about 30 centimeters deep in the soil. \n\nWind speed\n\nYou can see my graphs of the data, and the code is on github.",
