OK, a few things. Externally powering the arduino took care of my FTDI reset issues, my data is nice and stable now. I made an outdoor sensor out of some copper tube, some silicon caulk, some thermal goo and some shrink wrap. The copper tube acts like a heat sink, the silicon seals the tube up, the tube is filled with the thermal goo to help heat conduction and the shrink wrap is all over the place to seal it all up. I’ll post pictures later. I also got the servo code working and proof of concept setup controlling a damper just for fun. I’m so stoked. Lots of great stuff in the works.
