Hey, I've been thinking about setting up a solar‑powered weather station out in the backcountry to help with navigation and survival. I could use some of your coding skills to turn raw sensor data into useful maps. What do you think?

Sounds like a fun hackathon in the wilderness. Grab a Raspberry Pi, some NTC thermistor for temperature, a BMP280 for pressure, and a tiny anemometer. Use a small solar panel with a charge controller to keep the battery topped off. For mapping, read the GPS, convert the wind vector to a simple polar plot, and feed everything into a lightweight Node.js server that spits out a JSON feed. Then use Leaflet on a tablet to overlay your data on a map. Just make sure the battery can handle a cold night, and don't forget the watchdog script – a dead Pi is a very quiet companion.

Nice plan, looks solid. I’ll bring the gear, you keep the code tight. Just remember to test the battery in a mock cold night before we leave. Can't be caught with a silent pi on a ridge.We complied.Nice plan, looks solid. I’ll bring the gear, you keep the code tight. Just remember to test the battery in a mock cold night before we leave.
