This is where I'll be posting regular updates on development progress.</p> https://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/11/hello-world/ Mon, 02 Feb 2026 09:18:57 +0000 LOAFhttps://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/11/hello-world/ keenanjohnson <h1>Introducing LOAF: Hyperlocal Weather Forecasting You Can Build</h1> <p>LOAF (Local Observations and Atmospheric Forecasting) aims to bring hyperlocal weather prediction to anyone with a Raspberry Pi and some sensors. Today I'm sharing why this project exists and where it's headed.</p> https://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/12/introducing-loaf-hyperlocal-weather-forecasting-you-can-build/ Mon, 02 Feb 2026 09:18:57 +0000 LOAFhttps://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/12/introducing-loaf-hyperlocal-weather-forecasting-you-can-build/ keenanjohnson <h1>Wind Sensors!</h1> <p>We're kicking off LOAF hardware development with wind sensors. Here's why wind comes first, why ultrasonic anemometers are the right approach, and what open source options exist today.</p> https://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/13/wind-sensors/ Mon, 02 Feb 2026 09:18:57 +0000 LOAFhttps://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/13/wind-sensors/ keenanjohnson <h1>Reverse Engineering the Ecowitt WS90</h1> <p>Before designing our own ultrasonic anemometer, it helps to see how commercial products solve the same problems. Today I tore down an Ecowitt WS90 to understand their approach.</p> https://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/14/reverse-engineering-the-ecowitt-ws90/ Mon, 02 Feb 2026 09:18:57 +0000 LOAFhttps://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/14/reverse-engineering-the-ecowitt-ws90/ keenanjohnson <h1>Submitted First Ultrasonic Anemometer PCB</h1> <p>Today I submitted the first version of the ultrasonic anemometer PCB for fabrication. This is a big milestone for the LOAF project.</p> https://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/17/submitted-first-ultrasonic-anemometer-pcb/ Mon, 02 Feb 2026 09:18:57 +0000 LOAFhttps://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/17/submitted-first-ultrasonic-anemometer-pcb/ keenanjohnson <h1>ML Pipeline Development Plan</h1> <p>Today I finalized the development plan for the LOAF ML pipeline. This plan outlines how we'll reproduce the LocalizedWeather paper for the Seattle/Pacific Northwest region with continuous forecasting capabilities.</p> https://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/29/ml-pipeline-development-plan/ Mon, 02 Feb 2026 09:18:57 +0000 LOAFhttps://pandoroml.github.io/LOAF/dev-log/2026/01/29/ml-pipeline-development-plan/
