I'm reviving the OG @NervesProject Weather Station to present it at my sons STEAM night and I really miss developing with hardware.

The libraries I wrote for this project might just be getting updates soon, I have that itch!

@frigidcode @NervesProject Ooh, that's exciting! Are you changing any of the hardware?

@axelson @NervesProject I'm going to look into alternatives to the rpi3 due to availability. Then I'm going to add some more sensors, PM 2.5 / humidity / barometric pressure comes to mind. Did you have any suggestions for sensors or rpi alternatives?

@frigidcode @NervesProject Oooh, nice! The mango pi has been getting more popular since it is actually purchaseable (even if buying it on aliexpress feels a bit sketchy https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803971669780.html)

Although if you haven't seen it you might have luck finding an RPI using https://nerves-metal-detector.org/ (https://github.com/nerves-metal-detector/nerves_metal_detector) which was made by Phillip Ohlandt.

For the sensors a good first step is the sensors used in https://pragprog.com/titles/passweather/build-a-weather-station-with-elixir-and-nerves/ since there's available libraries/community experience with them.
