WeatherDuino RX Station

Have posted a couple of photos of my receiver station, finished and mounted into a plastic instrument case. The cut-out for the LCD panel was the time consuming part. If you cut plastic with anything highspeed it often melts slightly on the edges as you cut, so in the end I used a variable speed scroll-saw with the blade speed at the absolute minimum. This gives you a nice clean and straight cut, and a quick file up afterwards is all that is required. I've installed a power supply and a 1.3AHr SLA battery, and the thought here is continuous running and uploads in the event of a power interruption and eventually running CumulusMX on a Pi in a second enclosure (below this enclosure) and using the single power supply for both. I used 'locking' toggle switches on the rear, and you need to pull them out to change their position. One is for run/program mode and the other is battery isolate.

Davis Anemometer
And my Davis anemometer arrived from the U.S. on Friday. Quick re-crimp of a 6P6C RJ12 onto the cable and it was up and running, and on test. Thanks JT for the pin-outs of this sensor and the cabling/crimp information.
