Radiation Shielding for Temperature Monitoring with a BMP280

[@guatagel2454]

Man, that was fast! I was one of the viewers that sugested you to use a radiation shield. You went to work immediately. Great test, and thanks for sharing!

[@ModestMaker]

Yes - I had to take care of this quick to avoid bad data collection over the long haul, especially since we are already half way through the monsoon. I appreciate the recommendations you shared.

Awsome video, keep up the work

Thanka IZ!

The sensor could be SHT11. I can see a big "11" .

[@ModestMaker]

Another comment pointed to the same model sensor. I'll do a little research. Thanks!

[@WizardTim]

The sensor at 3:11 is a SHT11 from Sensirion, there are a couple Arduino libraries for it available and you can buy them as modules. Just note that it doesn't use I2C, although it's similar.

[@ModestMaker]

Thanks for that. That sensor is pretty old and I wasn't sure how well they hold up over time, but I'll investigate the library.

I am surprised that the Davis radiation shield does not have vent holes in the base. Great video!

[@ModestMaker]

Thanks. It's definitely better than what I had originally installed. I'm looking forward to sharing further details soon.

Great video, thanks! I have the same sensor suite from Davis so I appreciate the file to print a base plate to use a BMP280 sensor. I would be curious what your results might be with an aspirated Stevenson screen.

[@ModestMaker]

Thanks - can you please explain "an aspirated Stevenson screen"? I'll set up a Thingiverse account shortly and update the description shortly.

STL posted here until I get that Thingiverse account created : drive.google.com/file/d/1egIrrdeHCujCMn0KtAiGw_gJS7lnvsPH/view?usp=share_link
