sunshine recorder field instrument

Post by Michaelpt »

hi everybody

quite some time ago I built a sky cam , using a reflective dome with a camera mounted above it
It gave me an idea of making a sunshine recorder,I've been working on this for sometime now
one of my main objectives was to make the device, so it can be put together by anybody
there is no soldering,

the field instrument records the daily sunshine, no computer is needed for the field instrument
the results have been amazing, the way the hardware has been worked so it will give you optimum results
if there is anything in front of the sun the sensor will not register,
the instrument is picking up from sunrise to sunset,


I've just started working on the second instrument which will connect to my computer,

I need to complete some testing during spring and summer . As soon as I completed this
I will put all the information on how to make it on my website
