Have managed to get gps and ais working - and I love OP more and more - so I want to get ready for the next step - environmental data.
How the sensors need to get connected is explained in the manual but my question is how have users done this?
- wire the sensors up and keep all in the same rpi-case? - or
- use a breakout board, connect it there and put the breakout board in the rpi-case (it now does not close properly anymore) - or
- put the sensors in another housing and run a 4 wire cable back into the rpi-case - or ?
In the first 2 options probably the temperature readings will be distorted by the processor heat. Whats your experience there?
Can someone share pictures from the actual setup (not the schematics - they are already in the manual)
Thanks for info!
