A simple environmental/weather monitoring app

[Larry Bank]

I just released the source code to a very simple weather monitoring app. I wrote it to run on my Orange Pi Zero and make use of a few environmental sensors (Bosch BME280 and AMS CCS811), along with a SSD1306 OLED. It records the data every ten seconds into a CSV text file.

It's just a simple idea that I had to monitor the conditions overnight in my kids' bedroom since our place doesn't heat/cool evenly.

Interesting ! I will have a look at it. But you know, temperature rarely change very much every ten seconds !

This is a first pass at the project. The reason for recording the values every ten seconds is because I wanted to see the effect of the air conditioner and it only cycles for a couple of minutes (I live in Florida and the air conditioner runs 365 days a year). I will also add a time stamp to the CSV output when I get some time. I wanted to graph the air quality changes due to 3 bodies sleeping in the same room.

I just added some command line options for setting the collection period, csv filename and number of samples to collect. I also added timestamps to the samples.
