Thanks for the heads up, definitely a point in its favour! On Thursday, September 10, 2020 at 9:57:59 AM UTC+10 Dan'l B wrote: > There is a Maxbotix extension > already available for > WeeWx. > > On 9 Sep, 2020, at 19:33, Jason Harrop wrote: > > e

There is a Maxbotix extension already available for WeeWx. > On 9 Sep, 2020, at 19:33, Jason Harrop wrote: > > electrosense emailed back saying they no longer sell their Aquagauge. lots > of options for diy submerged pressure gauges though. > >

Re: [weewx-user] measuring river depth

electrosense emailed back saying they no longer sell their Aquagauge. lots of options for diy submerged pressure gauges though. A problem with a submerged pressure gauge for me is that it might get washed away in a flood. So I'm exploring ultrasonic and lidar. Ultrasonic tends to have limite

Re: [weewx-user] measuring river depth

for me, both: fish and flood. fish also care about the river temp i was waiting for ultrasonic to be raised. i didn’t pursue that option because i didn't want to build my own (eg arduino and a cheap sensor) and the commercially available ones here are either offline datalogger or hideously expe

Re: [weewx-user] measuring river depth

Why measure from the bottom of the body of water when you can measure from the top? Do you care how deep it is or where the top of the water is? On Sun, Aug 23, 2020 at 8:56 PM Graham Eddy wrote: > the hardware supplier i used is at https://www.electrosense.com.au. as i > mentioned, they removed

Re: [weewx-user] measuring river depth

the hardware supplier i used is at https://www.electrosense.com.au . as i mentioned, they removed this specific product from sale for a while but it appears to be back again. the transmitter is pretty robust - if the case is full of water then giving it a shake,

Re: [weewx-user] measuring river depth

This is fantastic! I just installed a pond and stream in the front yard and would love to be able to monitor the depth of it. Could you provide a parts/supply list for the sensor, transmitter and receiver? Cheers Chris On Saturday, August 22, 2020 at 10:57:21 PM UTC-7 graha...@gmail.com wrote:

Graham, I note that sensor transmits on 433 MHz. Could one just use an SDR receiver instead of passing through their own receiver box —> to computer? > On 22 Aug, 2020, at 11:30, Graham Eddy wrote: > > i measure river depth using an off-the-shelf product - the hardware is usable > but i repla

[weewx-user] measuring river depth

i measure river depth using an off-the-shelf product - the hardware is usable but i replaced the windoze app by writing a simple weewx service. a differential pressure sensor has RF connection to a controller (supports up to 8 sensors). the receiver passes a record of latest sensor values over s
