@sollins Looks like Seeed has revised their Seeeduino Stalker design since the v2 shown in @Shannon Hicks build.

@Shannon Hicks Thanks for the update. Please keep us posted on what you are setups you’re experimenting with. Based on your earlier posts I think I am going to also start development on similar setup.
Since I’m a amature radio oprator [KE4HET] and looking to potentially do an open public deployment in the Lower Snoqualmie, think I am going to focus on different RF interfaces (xBee [on 2.4GHz & 900MHz], WiFi, WiMax, Bluetooth, 400MHz ISM, APRS, GSM, etc.). I think I will also look to integrate a GPS module (like https://www.adafruit.com/products/746) to provide accurate time and location references for publicly posted data. My ultimate goal would be to crowd source real time flood data for our valley in much the same way that backyard weather stations are being used to crowd source hyper local real time weather data.

This should work out great if you continue to post your development on the sensor side.
Again any photos and part lists you can post would be helpful, even if those aren’t your finial “recommended” solutions.
@Shannon Hicks Could you post a bigger image of the test/installed site? And perhaps some sample data? Also info on how the sensors are doing through the winter, would be helpful.
I think I want to build and deploy a couple to test for potential use in community driven local flood monitoring and forecasting in the lower Snoqualmie Valley (outside Seattle).
