AAG Solo and Cloudwatcher: My Automated Observatory Brains

Next-Level Weather Monitoring: My AAG Cloudwatcher & Solo!

My AAG Cloudwatcher recently took a little trip to Spain, heading over to Lunatico for a full service and a hardware refresh. It’s now proudly sporting an anemometer! While it was getting its upgrade, I figured it was the perfect time to order an AAG Solo too. This neat little Raspberry Pi-based mini-computer takes autonomous control of the Cloudwatcher and generates some absolutely gorgeous weather graphs.

The Cloudwatcher’s relay output is now wired into an IPX input, which means I can set up custom scenarios based on real-time weather conditions. I’m absolutely thrilled with this new addition! ;-)
