Mounting Sensors in their Own Case

Published by Martin on July 28, 2020

So to mount the sensors outside I chose another Plastic WaterProof case so this is what it looks like. It will get mounted on the Foxtel satelite pole when its all done.

Sensor Case 1

These are the sensors side by side ( and soon to be joined by a lightning sensor ). These are all i2c controlled so 4 wires and all 3 sensors can be controlled.

Sensor Case 2

Room for More Sensors

Sensor Case 3

These look like this with the i2cdetect program

pi@weatherst:~ $ i2cdetect -y 1
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: 10 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- 23 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- 76 --

( Bearing in mind there is the bme280 to connect )
