They’ve got some other interesting projects as well.

Ummm.. can’t you just but this at radio shack for like $9?

Great example of Nokia 3310 LCD code & useage. Not the exact sensors I would’ve chosen for the project, but it still looks great!

I like the idea of solar for the transmitter. Anyone know of any good micro-solar-charger circuits?

@rviso: You can buy this at Radio Shack for $9? Please back that up with a link (or get back under the bridge with the rest of the trolls!)

Well it’s 42 hours in multiple places in the original article, so I guess that’s accurate. Strange that they didn’t either extend it to two full days or just cut it back to a single day.

This is EXACTLY the kind of device that zigbee is designed for. Small, low power, sensor data to relay back to -somewhere-.

In this case I’m with rviso and would just buy it at a store and if I wanted to hack I’d add a computer interface, simply because it’s much cheaper and widely available and making it yourself doesn’t add anything as far as I can tell.

Because if it twittered then there would be no need to store the data for many hours.
Seems it’s meant to be left somewhere where there’s no power and then later to retrieve the data.

I am going to write my master thesis in weather monitoring, I am planning to create a website where you can nicely see the information of wireless sensor nodes. If someone have ideas contact me.
