I realized the other day that if I plan to use this equipment as a weather station, I should treat the wood. So, in these pictures, you can see the wood is darker.
I have also mounted the RPi onto the board. I drilled some shallow holes for the feet of the case to fit into. When I got it right, I put some 3M strips into the back of the RPi, filled those shallow holes with super flyer, and then put it together. So, the feet are super glued on, and the back is attached work strong adhesive.
Mostly, the 3M steps are there for a little extra support during flight. But after the flight, if there's any question to using them, I can remove them, and the feet will still be secured. That should be enough for a stationary weather station.
I also tested the temperature sensor in sunlight. The sensor reacted instantly to sunlight. So, I do have to create a shade using the Styrofoam. The trick is to mount the shade and the camera right so that the shade doesn't obstruct the camera's view.
