The display doesn’t add a huge amount to the price so we thought it was worth including :-)

Other than the pressure sensor I can't really see the similarity in purpose? We aimed to cram as much environmental monitoring as possible at a reasonable price point onto Enviro+. :-)

Initially it was, but now there is an official SKU for pre-soldered header. :-)

We're working on opening up the schematics to our range, watch this space!

This product works with any model of Raspberry Pi - it doesn't have to be a Pi Zero! The Pi Zero comes in three flavours - the Pi Zero WH includes a pre-soldered header. :-)

I'm one of the co-founders of Pimoroni. :-) Adafruit carry most of our range - hopefully they'll pick this up too soon!

We have a calibration guide coming, of course it can't compare to high end equipment but it's plenty good enough for most people's uses!

Let us know how you get on!

They will be!

Sometimes a full Linux stack is a blessing but I totally understand where you're coming from. :-)

No soldering required, you just plug it onto the header on the Raspberry Pi.

Hi Joey - yes, this is one of our boards. :-) Are you sure it's the GPS module - 3 degrees sounds a lot for that? I'd try to take some measurements to confirm it before changing anything. Which Feather board are you using?

Obviously for the sensors to work they need to be exposed to air. We have a tutorial coming next week on how to make a low-cost enclosure for use outdoors - is that what you mean?

You'd be fine then!

Which sensor are you looking at? I'm sure it could run alongside the rest of Enviro+!

The firmware is going to be open-source - I have no doubt that people cleverer than us will know ways to improve it. The most important factor for me is that we keep our API stable. That said there is tonnes of scope to add new features and

Because we intend to continue to improve it. :-)

We just launched this project and we're excited to talk about it if you have any questions. :-)

Yes! Calliope is a spin on the micro:bit that has been developed in Germany. They are a great team too!

I'd recommend you look into the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or micro:bit - each offer a great introduction to physical computing with huge libraries of online content to dive into. https://www.raspberrypi.org/ <-- Basica
