Yours is a good solution as it gives the option of wireless data. With the addition of a small solar panel, battery and charge controller it could be placed almost anywhere
There is no stepping on anyone’s toes. It all benefits the flying community
As for the skycam stuff. It was just a development at the Rylstone Airpark. There were many enquiries about how to do it and that is why I started a place in the ether to keep them all as people couldn’t see past all the IT stuff to do it themselves
It seemed hard enough for people to get their aero clubs to agree and work together to get things done with internet and funding
Every site is different
The weather data info that I’ve got on the images was quite a bit of work with php. There is no easy way for me to tell you how to do it. It took a lot of work and has been refined along the way. I am happy to help anyone if they have questions
Rylstone and Shute Harbour purchased a Davis weather station and I wrote script to display this information. This I believe is better than a METAR
There were a few people that came to me for help and did Things their own way. Merimbula, Cessnock & Gawler were done with their own cameras with a bit of tweaking and help on the phone.
I would like to try the wireless camera as used at Tooradin. It looks like a decent low cost solution. Good work setting that up
I believe the government is dragging the chain in this area
METARS should now be provided with an image or images as standard. This is 2018
