Thanks for the very fast reply, and your poor English is a LOT better than anything I might even manage in a foreign language, and I've understood it very easily, and it seems that it will indeed be the right route for me to take.

I'm prepared to spend some time and effort on this, so it will be worth my while doing it properly.

Thanks for the encouragement, it's appreciated.

Best regards

Steve

This is great system and will become better and better; re sensors, I have acquired virtually all of mine off ebay, and have got some very good research grade sensors for a fraction of the original price, particularly wind and rain, age is seldom a problem as the most parts are easily replaceable, bearings, reed switches, potentiometer etc. There are occasionally on ebay NRG40C anemometers for £50.00 and open to offers, (occasionally from Belfast!). The problem with these is that they output a frequency and would need a Schmitt trigger to work. You will see other posts of mine about Didcot, Davis and Vector instruments. These all work easily on weatherduino and give you excellent accuracy.

For example:
