COSMOS Tutorial – Make a Weather Station with COSMOS & and a CrunchLabs Label Maker

Watch step-by-step instructions for integrating and using COSMOS to control a CrunchLabs label maker.

🚀 Learn the power of COSMOS!

🚀Staff Software Engineer Clay Kramp is back to walk us through how to command and automate a CrunchLabs Hack Pack Label Maker with COSMOS Core. Starting with basic functionality, Clay demonstrates how to use COSMOS to send commands then demonstrates how to schedule an automation that creates a mini-weather station using COSMOS Enterprise.

Whether connecting a label maker, controlling a foam turret, or operating a constellation of satellites, the power of COSMOS turns any laptop into a mission control center.

🔧 Tools used:

  • COSMOS by OpenC3
  • CrunchLabs Hack Pack Label Maker
  • Arduino Sensor Kit

✅ Features covered:

  • Real-time telemetry from all sensors
  • Command Scheduler to automate future commands
  • Seamless communication with Arduino and Label Maker

Whether you're exploring embedded systems, building a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbed, or just want to level up your OpenC3 COSMOS skills — this video shows how easy and powerful the integration can be.
