1wire temp as solar in jar
« on: January 02, 2010, 07:36:12 PM »
Hi
  I have just recieved my solar sensor from hobby boards. On the site it said it was only a solar sensor, i did not order temp/hum and solar. Any way im not complaining when i was setting it up to test today i noticed that it is also reading the temp, not the hum as that is stuk at 100%. I will be siting my normal solar on the roof and wondered if i could fashion a solar in a jar (lightbuln in this case) using the on board temp.

This would allow me to get conditions as night then as well instead of using METAR. Just a thought, i would give it ago if i could.

Thanks
Liam

p.s i know it wont be so accurate as both temp sensors should be close for comparrison to get the correct sky conditions.
