Weather Cape

http://elinux.org/CircuitCo:BeagleBone_Weather


script to read sensors:

for sensor in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/*/*_input; do
  echo -n "$(basename $sensor): ";
  cat $sensor;
done

expected output:
 lux1_input: 419
   humidity1_input: 25257
   temp1_input: 29273
   pressure0_input: 99692
   temp0_input: 291

The results are interpreted as 419 lux, 25% humidity, 29 degrees C and 997 millibar.
in other words: just divide the output by 1000 to get the actual hum, temp, pressure.


Unfortunately, the weathercape revision B does not work when booting from eMMC, even though it says so on the web page

elinux.org CircuitCo BeagleBone Weather

It is possible to run the beaglebone with the weather cape and without holding the boot button by applying the workaround described on that page, however the SD card has to be inserted, so the software is not really running from the eMMC.

Also, the touch screen LCD cape does not work in conjunction (plugged on top of) the weather cape.

The End. That's it.

Good bye, beaglebone.
