No, but up here with heated gauge yes
First winters with they untouched had i to try to get away that ice to not break the thing but also because it clogged the water-holes in the bottom of the rainpot at the end. So it is a really crap design by default.
I seem to recall that at one time the humidity sensor worked like a variable capacitor, and the capacitance measuring circuit was on the SIM board. Adding extra cable was not recommended because that could alter the capacitance. Is it not like that any more?
No, it’s a totally digital sensor now, SHT11 until recently, now SHT31 I think. It uses 2 wire serial comm similar to I2C which is usually only used for on board or board to board interface, but apparently it works over longer distances.
Good find Bottom line, never read the datasheet before you try something :lol:
Carrying the SCK and DATA signal parallel and in close proximity (e.g. in wires) for more than 10cm may result in cross talk and loss of communication.
I guess it’s pretty safe. With the serial comm protocol and checksum system I doubt you can actually get wrong values in the data, if there’s a problem I think it will be garbage data that the ISS will reject.
Yep, trial/error was my route there too. As i needed at least 2-3 m back then did i the 5-6m wire as a test as longer wire = easier to get located nicely. I had in mind that it may not work, but it have worked just fine. As its a “normal, but 6-core phonewire” had it been easy to cut and add a new RJ-plug at the end if it not worked.
You would think so wouldnt you, Brexit gets the blame for most :lol: :lol: :lol: not this time though lol
Breckland (or The Brecks) as a landscape region is an unusual natural habitat of England. It comprises the gorse-covered sandy heath that lies mostly in the south of the county of Norfolk but also in the north of Suffolk. ... The Brecks are one of the driest places in England.
