Post man #4

To extend the range ( which seems to be fine for my project at this time) I've ordered some 
19 cm mini PCI U.FL to RP-SMA WiFi Antenna Cable. My plan was to reuse the antenna from NRF240L01P modules but I didn't checked the connectors.

Murphy's law is applicable also in this case, so as you can guess they don't match. So the new antennas are on their way also.


I've received also the BMP180 sensors ( replace the old BMP085 version). 
  • Pressure sensing range: 300-1100 hPa (9000m to -500m above sea level)
  • Up to 0.03hPa / 0.25m resolution
  • -40 to +85°C operational range, +-2°C temperature accuracy
  • This board/chip uses I2C 7-bit address 0x77

The sensor and its board is very small, which is great. 

So I have temperature and humidity from DHT22, pressure from BMP180, I can now predict the weather for my irrigation platform.

  1. Murphy's law, I know it well. At work we operated under Riley's Law, which simply states 'Murphy was an optimist'!
