Hi All,
As the title suggests, "where" is the best place to mount a temperature sensor which is of course connected to a picaxe project.
For outdoor use, i'm guessing it should NOT be in direct sunlight, so it must have a sun shield over it, but also can't be mounted in a shaded area because that might not be true temperature???
I'm also guessing it shouldn't be mounted directly on a roof surface or next to a wall that would retain heat, which would also give misleading readings (brick wall etc).
At this stage, i believe the sensor should be mounted on a small mast (maybe some TV antenna hardware) and of course a sun-shield over the top of the sensor.
Has anyone tried this before? and what methods did you use?
Thanks in advance.
Marty
