I like building Robots,Artbots and things that flash and make noise.

@Vidiyocontexts Use a proper hose clamp.

@NWSBayArea An earthquake on the Kamchatka Peninsula generated a tsunami that hit the california coast 9 hrs later. Tsunamis are known to disturb the atmosphere and make a pressure wave that can be detected with a sensitive microbarometer. I think my microbarometer may have got it.

I got literally millions of these tiny bugs crawling up the walls, walkway and porch outside my house. They are a few millimeters in length, no wings and gray in color. Seem to be attracted to heat and light. They seem to just hatch a few days ago. Scaling on photo is mm.

This week has been pretty hot going with temperatures over 100 in Stockton, as my graph shows.

Plotted the data from my solar sensor monitoring the sun's brightness during the 2024 eclipse we had April 8. Even though, here in Stockton, it was a partial eclipse at 36% , the graph showed the dip in brightness clearly.

I was able to use a BH1750 LUX meter ic to record the brightness of the sun during the 2024 partial eclipse. Unfortunately, I had to record the light levels while the sensor was on a window sill and some sunlight got cut off later during the afternoon.

@radiopench1 Like your led tree. Did you post a blog on it?

@BMcNoldy
Did you barometer show anything from the Iceland Volcano like Hunga Tonga in 2022?

[Bill Sherman @botsmaker]

@RoGonzalesTV
The eclipse on 10-14-23 showed up on my sensors here in Stockton, Ca. Only a partial, yet it showed up.

What an interesting weekend. Eclipse and a change in weather with fog.

[Bill Sherman @botsmaker]

@NWSFortWorth Did anyone notice the change of wind speed and direction during peak darkness? I did in Stockton, Ca a bit.

[Bill Sherman @botsmaker]

@NWSFortWorth @NWSBayArea During maximum darkness during the 2023 Eclipse, the air temperature actually dropped around 9:30 AM PST here in Stockton Ca. My DIY Arduino weather station recorded the dip in temperature.

@RoGonzalesTV I had fun casting images from shadows of the eclipse and made a time lapse video.
