Thanks for the heads up. Hardware temperature range is for sure a thing to bear in mind, especially if intended for outdoor usage. I need to get into it, see what options do i have.

Thank you for creating this tutorial, it is very helpful for us netduino first-timers.

Mario thanks for the reply, you are very helpful. Actually i will be getting these components from Sparkfun: Weather meters: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8942 Cellular Shield with SM5100B: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9607 I am waiting for my Netduino Plus to arrive, and will order the rest of the components later. The weather meters are not currently in stock, and the cellular shield will be a gift for Christmas (i hope) :) I want to go with these components because i want it to be easy to replicate, if anyone would be interested in doing this project. I have an old Siemens MC60 mobile phone which i was planning to use but i think it is better to use the components/shields for the netduino, it is more standard and universal in my opinion. I like the SD card and TCP/IP capability of the Netduino Plus, and i hope i will be able to utilize it properly. I am a hang glider pilot and i would like to set up my station on a hill where we launch and fly. The hill is in a remote part of the country but has very good GSM/GPRS coverage so this first condition is met. Secondly, the station will be mounted on a pole surrounded by a fence, so no one can come and take it away. We need this station in order to get the real time wind speed and direction data. We don't want to waste time traveling to this remote location only to find out that the conditions have changed and have to turn around and go home. Now the fun part: basically, the data should flow from sensors to the SD card, and then from the SD card to my web database via GSM/GPRS Cellular Shield. I don't know if it is better for my web page to request the data from the remote netduino, or the netduino itself should send the data in a preset interval. Also i would need to sleep parts of the hardware between updates. I am planning to use the .NETMF and C# to achieve this. I also i need to figure out how to power the station, and need to enclose it in a weather proof housing. It will be cool to see the wind trend for this location over a longer period of time, i plan to monitor it for a year, and then move the station to another location or maybe build a new station with more capabilities. This should be fun. Cheers

Hello Mario, thanks for the reply. Basically i would like my weather station to collect the data from the sensors (wind speed and direction), and send it over GPRS/GSM network to a web page. I have no idea how netduino operates, nor how to break down these processes into block diagrams and steps, but i am willing and able to learn, and i can learn new things really fast, especially things that interest me. I am not in a hurry, just want to satisfy my curiosity and see how i do. These forums are a great place to start.

Great stuff! I also want to build a weather station with the weather sensors from Sparkfun, but i would like it to send sensor data over a GSM/GPRS network. I intent to use the Cellular Shield with SM5100B and feed the data to a web page. I hope i work this out. Your project seems to have a lot of this solved.
