I finished up the trim on the sliding door this morning. it involved a trip to Lowes to pick up some more 1x2 trim boards. The work was hampered by on and off raindrops but I eventually finished the job. My Davis solar Sensor arrived today. I found that it was not made for the Vantage Vue, only the Vantage Pro weather station. In the meantime I had climbed on the roof to take the station down. I ended up putting the station back up and requesting an RMS from Rainman weather. This is too bad since I wanted the solar sensor. I found that the Xbee wasn't working anymore on the plant room AC controller. I decided to hardwire the AC status reporting by putting a current sensor inside the circuit panel in my tool closet. I ran cat 5 up into my workshop to try some test circuits. With a 500 ohm burden resistor across coil I measured about .5 volts with the compressor running and 0 volts without it. I need to interface this to the Arduino. Dinner was salad with tuna over it, a light eating day. We had a sudden burst of rain around 8 PM. It got dark, windy and the heavens dumped on us. I measured one inch of rain in this single storm. We sure have had enough rain this year. The nicholas's sent an email saying they received the DVD. I cringe that everything on it has come out OK.
