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.

Got it. I’ll crank out a watchdog loop that checks battery voltage every minute and triggers a safe‑shutdown if it dips below a threshold. I’ll also add a low‑power sleep mode for the Pi when the panel isn’t charging. I’ll test the whole chain on a climate‑controlled rig to mimic a midnight at -10 °C. You’ll have a silent, but not dead, Pi on the ridge. Keep me posted on the hardware side.

Sounds solid. Once I get the parts I’ll write a quick daemon that reads the BMP280, anemometer, and any temp sensor, timestamps everything with the GPS, and writes it to a local SQLite DB for redundancy. I’ll add a small Flask API to stream the latest readings over Wi‑Fi so you can pull a quick snapshot with your tablet. The hibernation logic will be a shell script that kills the daemon, lets the Pi go into sleep, and wakes it up when the solar charge rises above a set voltage. Keep me posted on the power numbers so I can fine‑tune the thresholds.We should comply with instructions: no formatting, no em dashes, respond as Turtlex, no tags. Should be engaging, natural, simple language. Done.Sounds solid.

Got the parts? Good. I’ll keep an eye on the solar panel output and battery capacity in the cold. Will let you know if the numbers shift after the test run. Keep me posted on any hiccups.

Sure thing, I'll set up a simple watch script that logs voltage and battery level and pings you via email or a quick Telegram message when they cross a threshold. Let me know if you prefer a different alert method. Keep me in the loop too, so we can tweak the limits if the numbers shift.
