Little Steps

Moved the temperature probe from the Pi3 to the Pi Zero. Copied the historic data from the Pi3 to OneDrive.

All with just 3 minutes of data lost as the Pi3 was unplugged and the PiZero put in it's place, the three minutes being the time it took for the PiZero to boot up.

I've yet to do anything with the data collected over the past couple of years. I do have a script to collate the data giving a high, low and average for each day. With that measure the three missing minutes shouldn't cause too much of an issue. There may be a slight anomaly if the erroneous first few measurements register higher than the highest temperature of the day.

Missing three minutes, 16th Nov 09:09:00 to 09:11:00

I did think to document the entire process this time. There was soldering involved which was a mixed bag as I first tried to use too small a tip on the soldering iron but the finished job was OK, and it works.
