(Still working on vis, sky condition, and present weather.)
As you can see by some missing data on the graphs, it’s not always available. But the sensors are carefully selected to perform to FAA standards. It’s been really fun putting together a high-precision, distributed system (packet radio data links) that can withstand the outdoors.
Thanks! The controller (box that runs the network and all the algos) keeps a day’s worth of raw sensor data, intermediate calculations, and final user-ready observations. The data behind the web interface is just observations and never gets pruned. In both cases, data is in SQLite.
Sounds exciting! related, I've been building a open-source platform for hardware telemetry data called TelemetryJet (https://www.telemetryjet.com/). It provides a toolkit for data collection, analysis, and visualization. The aim is to make it easy to build a long-term time series database, share it with collaborators, and actually gain insight from the data you collect.
I've been mostly focused on data from experimental electric vehicles, but I am also really interested in hearing your experience building a sensor network. I'd really love to hear what kinds of challenges you encountered building a distributed sensor system like this, particularly with collecting and sharing the sensor data. If you're willing, please reach out to me at the email in my bio!
This looks fantastic, and is precisely the sort of thing I’ve wished I had for this system. As it is, the data collection is very much “MVP.” I’ll definitely get in touch!
Realized I didn't actually have it in the profile and there's some sort of filtering on emails or the profile isn't updating. My email is my profile username @ gmail!
