Weather Station Kit with Anemometer/Wind Vane/Rain Bucket

For the price I was expecting something more substantial.

I think pigeons and other birds might use it as a roost so I will be attached some anti-bird spikes prior to erection.

I could not get the unit to work using an Arduino Yun so I had to resort to using an Uno.

The example Arduino code (from the Wiki page) works up to the point that you add in code to make use of an Ethernet Shield at which point you get erroneous readings mixed in with correct ones. I worked out this was down to a timing issue and the fact that the unit creates a 35 byte string into the Arduino’s 64 byte buffer. My code checks for errors and retries till correct:

#include
#include

// Enter a MAC address for the controller.
byte mac[] = { 0x00, 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55 };

// Initialize the Ethernet server library
// (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetServer server(80);

char weatherBuffer[35];
char weatherBufferCheck[35] = "c...s...g...t...r...p...h..b.......";
double dTemporary;
unsigned long ulResetCount;
unsigned long ulUnavailableCount;
unsigned long ulGetDataCount;
unsigned int runCount = 0;

void getWeatherBuffer() {
int index;
char _dummy;

ulResetCount = 0;
ulUnavailableCount = 0;

for (index = 0; index 360) {
returnCode=+1;
}
if (WindSpeedAverage() 150) {
returnCode=+2;
}
if (WindSpeedMax() 150) {
returnCode=+4;
}
if (Temperature() 70.0) {
returnCode=+8;
}
if (RainfallOneHour() 50.0) {
returnCode=+16;
}
if (RainfallOneDay() 200.0) {
returnCode=+32;
}
if (Humidity() 99) {
returnCode=+64;
}
if (BarPressure() 1060.0) {
returnCode=+128;
}

return returnCode;
}
