• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Solid state humidity sensors?

Here's a question for the electronic nerds out there. :)

I recently bought a nifty USB based multichannel A/D converter and am looking to build a portable weather station. Getting temperature, wind speed, etc. is all fairly straightforward (pending calibration!) but I know nothing about humidity sensors. Does anyone have exerience with these?

I could build a wet/dry termocouple/thermistor setup, but that would require a small reservoir of water; I'd prefer a no-maintenance system.

Thanks!

TY, John!

After looking about, I think I'm going to go forego using the A/D, and build a go-anywhere serial port version with one of these or similar sensors. They spit ASCII text straight into your PC. Slick!
 
Or hey, if you feel like spending about 5K, you can get yourself a Vaisala WXT510 Multi-Sensor. It's a neat little all-in-one, about the size of a 2-liter bottle that they are going to start using in early 2007 on the Oklahoma City Urban Micronet. I just wish they had a wedding registry...
