Back again guys. Some regulars may remember me as I recently built a RC PPM Joystick for RC Planes. Works great and have several flights. Could not have done it without the help I received here.
Well my RC Model Flying club wants to put a Personal Weather Station at the flying field and link it to Weather Underground so members can look on the Internet and get site weather conditions. Guess who got drafted?
I have no intention of building a weather station. I can buy it for $150 to $200 almost ready to go. All of the commercial models have three methods of connecting to the Internet:
Ethernet Port
WiFi
Bluetooth
Problem is we have no communications at the Flying Field. AC power we have. Only solution is to use Cellular 3G or 4G. There is VZW and ATT tower 2 miles from the site so it should be a piece of cake. I know I can use a Router with a Cellular bridge which is a lot of overkill and EXPENSIVE. For $700 to $2000 you can have a one too. So I am looking for a cheap cheap solution like a simple device. What I do have is several USB 3G Modems but again that takes a device to interface the too.
So the obvious question is do you know how to do this easily and most importantly done dirt cheap? With or without my USB 3G Modem
THX in advance.
