I dont' graph temp/humidity at my towers. I do graph it for my detatched garage and datacenter though. (The most important locations) I have a little atom PC running centos, 1-wire temp/humidity sensor from www.hobby-boards.com, owfs, mrtg, apache. It also has rsync and a 2tb drive for offsite

I'm pretty sure that Matt was talking about *RF spectrum* weather information here. I've thought about this a few times too- would be an extremely useful product. Even more useful if it had enough intelligence to learn the TDD patterns of the owner's equipment, and listen during the guard

The RouterOS v4 with the R52n has a spectrum analyzer mode (similar to Orthogon and others). With one of those on your tower either with an omni or a directional antenna and rotor, or both, you could do some pretty interesting things. If MT has the ability to read the analyzer output with their

Must be nice to be so close to a NOAA weather station.. and to have consistant weather from one mile-post to the next. I can tell you that out here, 200' elevation 4500' elevation 4 miles away. :) And I do graph all of that. :) ryan On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 9:08 PM, Jayson Baker

We have a setup for this. I use a carpc http://www.mini-box.com The VoomPC-2-Car-PC is the one we use currently. Put debian linux on it, with a davis weather station and usb link. Then I have a perl script that collects data from the weather station, and have SNMP running to gather other data from

We do this now. From NOAA weather stations. All our backhaul links are polled every 60 seconds for just about everything they spit out (i.e. bits in/out, signals, errors, temperature, etc.) as well as NOAA weather info (temp, humidity, pressure, etc.) for the nearest station. It's all available
