We fulltime in our RV. So, our location is always changing. Unfortunately, weather underground and the WeatherFlow app do not automatically update the location. Weather underground actually requires that you create a new station which just isn’t realistic. So, the ideal situation would be software …

Great response @dsj . Thanks. A couple of adds. Unlike a windsurfer, car or plane. Most of us RVers are interested in the data while in a fix location not while in motion. Consider us people that just move a lot :slight_smile: I believe where that differentiation is applicable is to the hardware as …

This is interested, as my ‘next’ project WILL be setting up a system to handle mobile weather stations (and hopefully be including WF hardware). I’m happy to see that there is a need for this type of setup, gives me more motivation to get back in my dungeon and start coding! –Sam

My aging memory seems to recall seeing ultrasonic anemometers with NMEA output and built-in GPS at one point, specifically for the sailboat community so that they can extrapolate wind conditions even while in motion. With GPS chips being cheaper than Fritos these days, how much would it cost to inc…

Right you are @vreihen . . . both on including a GPS chip in future hardware and, especially, on every geek needing a stratum-1 (or even stratum-2) NTP server in their network. Best I can do here at the moment is a Cisco C3560 serving NTP and synchronizing to USNO. Very, very, very close to the co…

+1 on the GPS integration. I’m looking forward to a truly portable small-form-factor unit. It CAN’T be that far down the road. :smiley:

Hi David, I can also see some other uses for mobile weather stations. As an amateur radio operator (WX2P) I participate in numerous ARES/RACES deployments in support of our local (and not so local) emergency services (eg: hurricanes Irene, Sandy and Maria are great examples). To be able to report…

[image] dsj: As for on-board GPS, that will likely find it’s way into a future smart weather device, not just for the mobile station case but also to ease installation and reduce the need to enter that information manually. That would also be good to have in the future if you want to be able …

A good use-case is the Indy Racing League. All of the team trailers have a very sophisticated weather station built in. These stations move from track to track and keep detailed records of data. These aren’t so much “mobile” as they are “portable.” In the military the Air Force and Navy have true…

RVer on the move

I’m just waiting to be able to order a dozen.

A way to use Sky & Air on an RV or as a semi-mobile unit?
