Would love to setup a station but not sure how I would protect the Pi from the elements if installed outside. Did you somehow weatherize your Pi or do you use a remote microphone over a long wire or some kind of wireless mic solution?

I mean to write a blog entry about this, but clearly that isn't happening soon, so here's the quick summary. Yes, I weatherized my pi by putting it in a weatherproof case. I bough a fancy case (no longer in production, but kind of like this: https://corpshadow.biz/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-ip65-weathe... ) but honestly if I were to do it again, I'd buy a big cheap waterproof box for electrical connections like this: https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Electrical-Weatherproof-Prote... .

I put the mic under an eave so it doesn't get wet. I bought a nice mic, but it's definitely overkill. Next time, I'll buy a half-dozen cheap mics from ali express and treat them as semi-disposable.
