@ankonaskiff17 50 ft ethernet

And the money shot. 50 ft cable

@ankonaskiff17 Here is screenshot of BME688 0x77
It is connected to one of my Endpoints.

@Egnos You want what is called a Midpoint which is
Also need an Endpoint which is this

I whipped this together in double quick time so pardon the lack of tidiness.
For reference sake I focused on a couple of BME688’s to give you sort of a benchmark.
First is screenshot showing both BME’s running. Had to do jumper on one to get a second address 0x76 and 0x77

@Egnos Maybe Sparkfun Midpoint and Endpoint to give you ample length. They tout over 100’ with those devices.

@fatgrandma What are the two electronic parts to the right of and above the Pi

@Cliff365 Pretty straight-forward. I have Pi 4 connected to an Endpoint to connect 3.3V, Grd, SDA, SCL.
From Enpoint I have a short ethernet cable to the Midpoint then another short ethernet cable to my 2nd Endpoint.

The description and functionality on Sparkfun’s site made it sound more complicated than it was in real life,

The Endpoints and Midpoints each have QWIIC female plugs and with I2C you can daisy chain multiple sensors together. You just have to be mindful of the device addresses.
I’m using duplicate sensors for temperature, barometric pressure, humidity for Indoor vs Outdoor readings. 1 sensor captures all 3 readings but it also has a solderable jumper pad to resolve the address issue.

The purpose of the Sparkfun devices is to give you the ability to transmit I2C data over some pretty good distances. Like 100+ ft.

They explain how they get that amount of distance but way over my electronics hardware pay grade.

@Jonae Have you by chance done or looked at any sensors that use I2C?

@Wenike I think what you get into is how accurate you want your schedule to be. Having watched both KSC and SpaceX for the purpose of buying launch viewing tickets, many will be listed as NET rather than a specific date and time. That is one issue. Another is that there may be some technical issue with the satellite so it gets shuffled back to a point where the orbital requirements allow the launch to proceed.
Then you have government/military launches that tend to be very low profile.

I know other guy got offended by my weed comment relating to Musk, weed, and launches but it was a valid point.
The initial launch of the full stack Starship/Booster was scheduled for 4/17. Well there are a couple of sites, LabPadre and Nasa Space Fight (NSF) that aren’t garbage that follow SpaceX .

Me and lots of other people were tuned in to watch launch on 4/17 but in chat people were speculating if there would be a scrub on that day that pushed launch back to 4/20 and sure enough that’s what happened.
Commentary after the scrub was a lot of “LOL Who didn’t see that coming.”
A few years back, NASA Administrator under Trump went and semi-publicly chewed out Musk because of film footage of Musk and Joe Rogan smoking dope when Musk was interviewed by Rogan.

@beliar If there is a website that will show your data you can maybe use one of the webpage iframe modules.

@Cliff365 Sparkfun puts out a couple of devices, one is called an Endpoint and the other is called a midpoint and each type of device is made to use QWIIC connectors which is some sort of JST connector but the end point and midpoint also has an ethernet plug.
You daisy chain sensors from an endpoint/midpoint then get an ethernet cable plug it in and plug in other end to you Pi’s ethernet plug.
Hardwired because of the ethernet but supposed to be able to handle some pretty good distances.
Only works with I2C

@KungFuCharlie Well, I’m not a fan of Musk but am a fan of SpaceX and have been following SpaceX for years and you are not going to get a posted schedule from SpaceX.
Dude just doesn’t do things like that.

The fact that you can’t find anything is because there is nothing, not because you have’t found it.
KSC puts out a launch schedule for KSC and CCSFS may put out a schedule for launches on their base but military generally cagey about putting out schedules for anything under assumption you are providing possible information to adversaries.
FWIW, I’ve been to 2 SpaceX launches and SpaceX DOES NOT PUT OUT A SCHEDULE
The best you are going to get is to get on both KSC & SpaceX email notification lists and you’ll get an email heads-up when tickets go on sale.
SpaceX is a privately owned business and as such they are under no obligation to put out a schedule to the public.

@KungFuCharlie FWIW I would not expend too much energy on when SpaceX is going to launch anything other than paying satellites and provisions to ISS. That’s his prerogative as right now it is just a testing campaign but the dude launches on 420 because “heh heh weed” isn’t going to give you a schedule.
Now if you can find anything coming out of KSC & CCSFS for ULA, SpaceX contracted missions probably accurate.
Musk/SpaceX showboating Starship and the heavy lift booster and expecting them to stick to anything remotely like a schedule is a waste of your time.

@sdetweil Who are you asking to repost? The community at large?

@cyberdie This unit. I pulled picture from Sparkfun although I did not buy it from Sparkfun. They are all over the web.

I bought mine from Argent Data Systems
It has wind speed wind direction and a tipping bucket style rain gage.

I also bought a this hat from BC Robotics

Poke around on BC Robotics and they have same device for wind speed, direction, etc. Make notice of price on Argent and BC Robotics.

Hat is nice because it has room for other sensors to solder to board.

BC Robotics also have a n EXCELLENT tutorial for how to set it up and program everything to spit the data out in a readable format.

what is the difference in dist-upgrade and full-upgrade when it comes to updating a Pi.
I can ask some obscure question about a Pi, totally unrelated to updating a Pi and I will get multiple hits on Google.
For example I recently did a Google search on how to format the date and time.
The question is irrelevant.
But every answer will start with:

1. First update your Pi with the following commands.
   sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
   OR
   sudo apt dist-upgrade

I’m just looking for any example modules out in MM land that pull in and present data from weather sensors inside a MM module. Just want to look at them for now.
Have multiple weather oriented sensors such as wind speed, wind direction and total rainfall that have been sitting idle and want to see how that works

@BKeyport A little side note but with the proliferation of bigger screens people are using to display MM’s, that block of font sizes in main.css is worth lifting the whole block and adjusting all your fonts in one place rather than tweaking each modules font individually.

I found that by accident but once screen size crosses a certain size threshold you don’t need to scale up the font anymore. Just put more modules on application.
For example, Say your main living area you have a 60 inch screen and you set an appropriate font size for that, if you step up to a72 inch screen you don’t need to ratchet up the font size. My accidental discovery which was just playing around, a 4 inch tall font on your 60 inch TV doesn’t need to step up to a 6 inch font on a 72 inch.

@Kastore It depends on the device but the color of the wires is not random. Typically red = + but could either be 3.3V or 5V. Black will be - or grd. I can’t ever remember all of the pins but if you do an image search on GPIO Pinout you will get a ton of pictures of how all the pins are laid out.
Yellow can be a bit more arbitrary but if you don’t have the device literature you can do a search on the devices name and/or number

@Jonae How many wires on sensor? 3 or 4? There are some DHT sensors with 4, some with 3.
If it is 4, and/or you know it is I2C ,try running ```sudo i2cdetect -y 1’‘’ .
Should spit you out an address 38.

If not I have a 3 wire sensor I can hook up and run through setup. My 3 wire sensor and DHT supposed to be about twins.
