Yacht Weather Station Idea

-

hello everyone!

i'm new forum have dabbled around in ardunio in past quadcopter it's time new challenge today!

i away on friends yacht , inside cabin had few circular brass weather dials things temperature, barometer etc.  whilst sailing pondered if done in cool modern way using micro controllers , electronic sensors?

i have 2 ideas:

  • using stepper motors : 3 stepper motors adjust angle of temperature, humidity , barometer dials
  • using lcd/oled someother screen:  sounds more difficult me allow easy future changes


i plan mount project on wooden board , using 3d printer create housings , mountings need.

how easy build , program?  have little experience in picking hardware kind of project , no doubt need programming love challenging diy project , think it'd produce cool end product.

attached rough sketch, dials printed (or programmed display).  end product prettier don't have decent software installed atm glitz these yet.

so think?

thanks in advance,
alex

this relatively easy.
barometer-bmp085-olimex breakout
temperature-tmp006-adafruit breakout
humidity-sht-31-adafruit breakout
these use 3.3v , same interface. 
you use servos instead of steppers dials. 
it easy oled screen working. 
a teensy 3.2 link is cheap, small, , powerful enough ridiculously high refresh speeds on screen. @ 3.3v.

hey everyone, i'm trying compile simple code on rpi3 using geany. code written using code::blocks on windows , working without problem. errors i'm getting are: untitled.c:33:5: error: ‘for’ loop initial declarations allowed in c99 or c11 mode , untitled.c:33:5: note: use option -std=c99, -std=gnu99, -std=c11 or -std=gnu11 compile code understand code not problem way i'm compiling it. can give me advice? you need add 1 of suggested options compile command configured in geany, in menu.. build -> set build commands add "-std=c99" after "gcc" in compile , build boxes. (i'm looking on mint pc expect version on pi same). petero raspberrypi
