Colin Cogle :verified:<p>I got tired of going outside and looking at the thermometer, so I got a digital weather station off Temu.</p><p>But then I got too lazy to walk to the refrigerator to read the base station’s display, so I hacked together a way to connect it to the Internet.

Colin Cogle :verified:<p>A while ago, I bought an RTL-SDR. I didn’t know what to do with a software-defined radio.</p><p>Then, I bought a weather station, with one of those little sensors you stick outside so that you can read the temperature inside.</p><p>Finally, I was able to use the SDR to read the weather data and then broadcast it to the internet using UDP, a PowerShell script, and my C app. Why? Well, why not?</p><p>(Also, there are some people in this neighborhood with some very broken sensors. And, not pictured, someone’s tire pressure is low.)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APRS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/APRSIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APRSIS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/RTLSDR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RTLSDR</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/hacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hacking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/PowerShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PowerShell</span></a></p>
