Hackaday

A DIY environmental monitoring station built using a Raspberry Pi Pico W, off-the-shelf sensors for air quality, temperature, humidity, and wind speed, all housed in recycled plastic containers. The device runs on a power bank battery for approximately two days before requiring maintenance. The project demonstrates that sensor technology and computing power are readily available, with the main challenge being effective weatherproof packaging using repurposed materials like plastic tubs and drink bottle tops.
