The Raspberry Pi Thread [5]

OK, I see what your on about now. If Set to CAD my invoice shows 88.81, on GBP it shows 61.25
On the Shop page on CAD it shows 106.58 and on GBP it shows 73.50.
Price must have gone up since I ordered my 4B 8gig on June 9th?
Or there was a sale on when we ordered?

I think that would work out well. Just big enough to not easily be knocked over.

Some pics off the new light sensors I added to my portable weather clock.



I cut down two of the Pibow Frosted diffusers and put cutouts in them for the sensor boards. All silicon sealed to keep the weather out. Then stuck my glass down on top with silicone to make it water tight, but let the light in.
Then four nuts on the Pibow extended bolts in the corners as spacers, and another cut to fit frosted Pibow as protection for the glass. And four more nuts on top to hold it in place. If I had tried to bolt it right on top of the other diffusers I think the glass would break. It would also trap water etc in the center cutout, this way it can just run out the sides. I should have taken a side view pic. I'll put that on my list of things to do though.

Thanks for the thumbs up's. Sometimes you have to get creative. IMHO, cases for what you built, is one of the hardest things to sort out. Especially if you want to protect what you built, and still be able to see all the Glowy Blinky bits.

Yeah, its a bit weird building a weather station, and having to protect it from the weather? I take it to the field we let or dogs play with each other on. And have got caught in rain or snow. So far so good. I have vent holes to let the heat generated by the Pi out but drilled them at an angle so water running down the side of the case won't go in. The light sensors on top are watertight. And my BMP680 is mounted on the underside of my case with some cut up frosted diffusers around it. They have air holes in them but only on the bottom center. Any water that makes it that far should just run down the side of its cover and drip off. If its pouring rain we pack up nd leave anyway. And if its a snow storm we don't go in the first place.
