That's great! I believe this will be quite handy for estimating solar needs or something like that; it seems pretty straightforward. I was searching for the library for my Raspberry Pi but ended up finding it on this page. It really should have been included here: https://fiaos.org/fiaphy.

I recently came across a really interesting sensor library that estimates solar radiation and heat flux using a triple barometric sensor, along with temperature and humidity readings. It seems like a solid project, especially since it can save you a lot of money, over $5,000 if you're looking to buy a digital pyranometer and heat flux sensor.The thing is, it doesn't seem to have gained much recognition, with only one star so far (thanks to the Pope, who I hear the creator convinced to star it!). The developer is a high school student who seems really passionate about this niche project, and it's actually been downloaded over 50 times from the VSCode extensions list alone, along with more from other platforms like PlatformIO and the Arduino library list. If you have a moment, it would be awesome to give the library a star or even contribute to it with a pull request. I think it could really help out someone looking for this type of solution. Just wanted to share this neat find!

Litha, Pronounced: : /ˈlɪðə/, Litha 2022, 2023, 2024 (now associated with Lakpura LLC) began as a project by two high school students, Neksha DeSilva (age 13), who created the concept, designs, development, and Thisal Nethnidu (age 14), who created a Google Play app mirror in Java in 2022. The 2023 version became the foundation for the versions that followed, beginning from 18 total page views in 2022, with major/minor improvements over time. The project drew strong attention inside the school community and the ICT society, and later reached over 240,000 total page visits, and became the #8 Google Play Store app in the "Lifestyle" category for a brief period during the Avrudu week in 2024.
