Features of "Rain_Gauge_One.ino". Version 1.4

  1. RTC with GPS update; used for 15 minute time interval, date-time stamping, and dayofweek;
    "LOG. file gets created daily. File name is in the format "LOGxxyyzzzz" xx being the DATE and yy
    beining the MONTH and zzzz being the YEAR; a new log file is created after every file renaming.

  2. Dynamic web page of current observations showing Last update time and date, humidity, dew
    point, temperature, heat index, barometric pressure, rainfall by five minutes, hour, and day..

  3. Files on server are listed as web links; clicking link prompts for: "FAVICON.ICO", and "ACCESS.TXT"
    are listed; however, they are for internal use and are restricted; result of clicking link produces
    "404 Page not found."

  4. LOGXXYYZZZZ file is appended every 15 minutes with the latest update; storing data from Dynamic
    web page.

  5. URL file names other than ones defined in the Sketch produce "404 Page not found." Methods
    other than "GET," produce "405" message and exits current request.

  6. Optional; Audible alert from Piezo electric buzzer when there is Barometric Pressure difference
    of.020 inches of Mercury. I am interested in sudden drop of Barometric Pressure in a 15 minute
    interval. Serve weather more likely with a sudden drop. Difference of .020 inches of Mercury
    point is set for my observations to log and sound audible alert; not based on any known value
    to be associated with serve weather.

  7. Optional; two-line LCD Display of Barometric Pressure, in both inches of Mercury and millibars.

  8. Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, and Dew Point have four embedded "ThinkSpeak.com"
    graphs on one web page. Graphs are created from Iframes provided by "ThingSpeak.com"

  9. HTTPClient library is used to POST data to the hosted, Domain website. Function
    "webInterface" function sends data.

  10. Free, "000webhost powered by HOSTINGER" may be used for "Domain hosted" website.

  11. "dataCollector.php" needs to be uploaded to your Hosted web site.

12 Simple FTP file transfer; allows for easy file maintenance, preventing too many log log files.
Works with Filezilla client.

  1. Built-in OTA update; remote sketch update by web interface. Used with "webInterface" function.

  2. Two websites,one sketch: "Rain_Gauge_One.ino"

ESP32 Project, ESPAsyncWebServer based

ESP32 Project; ESPAsyncWebServer, Domain Hosted web site

ESPAsyncWebServer based; Dynamic web page has file browser (selected file can be viewed), and graphs displayed. Note this project is in development; maybe offline or log files may be affected. Server is online 24/7; except during periods of testing.

Server is an "Adafruit, Espressif ESP32 Development Board - Developer Edition," PRODUCT ID: 3269.
Development board, GY-BME280 breakout board, purchased from "Ebay.com," NEO m8n GPS Module,and a "tipping bucket" rain gauge are required for project.

Development board is "Arduino" friendly; can be programed using the Arduino IDE.
