Another greenhouse/weather station project (off-grid, very custom); MQTT; Node-Red

At least two things to consider on the OpenAg front:

Not necessarily designing a product, but if I am rewriting any libraries, these might be some good considerations. The MVP might be the using smaller Arduino devices like the Uno in which a complicated library just won’t fit in 32k. Do you create a complex library to cover 5.0V vs. 3.3V references, interrupts, I2C vs SPI vs. plain Serial? or do you create many separate libraries to keep these small and compact? There are many copies of sensor libraries to choose from…

There is a wind direction sensor that claimed to have a very linear scale. It may be an old sensor too. Doing a calibration test shows that it is not so quite linear. The code is quite simple between the two, so one could write the library in two ways with linear or nonlinear as #define definitions. That may get too complicated for the MVP types.

Time to sleep on it.
