Open Hive Bee Monitoring System, Deployed in the Wild with single side scale

The scale part on the left side while moving under one part of the hive. The box in the middle is waterproof and contains the lipo battery, electronic board, the open hive shield, GSM module, solar cell. On the right the combined humidity and temperature sensor a bit waterproofed.

The two l-profiles that build the scale. Inside you can see the load cell and on top the some screws. The distance plate between L-profile and load cell is not visible from this angle.

Scale on the final position. All weight is now on the scale. Note the distance between base and bottom of the hive.

Humidity and temperature sensor for outside values on the final position.

The sensor itself with a nice blue Ikea cup for weather protection. ;-)
