Compatible weather sensors
#2

Theoretically the system can work with any anemometer that can output impulses. You just need to know the wind speed, corresponding to a revolution per second.
For instance, for Fine Offset anemometers, this value is 0.666 m / s (2.4 km / h).
Knowing this value you just need to change this line in the TX unit software:

// --- Wind ------------
#define WIND_FACTOR 0.666667

Relative to the wind direction sensor, it can be a little more difficult, but not impossible. Typically the output is an analog voltage, which is then read by an ADC.
Please refer to this doc to see how the system work with the Fine Offset wind vane.

After you have done a table with wind directions and corresponding ADC readings, on TX code, change values in vaneValues array according to your table (vaneDirections array is possible wind directions times 10).

// --- Vane -----------
const int vaneValues[] PROGMEM={66,84,92,127,184,244,287,406,461,600,631,702,786,827,889,946};
const int vaneDirections[] PROGMEM={1125,675,900,1575,1350,2025,1800,225,450,2475,2250,3375,0,2925,3150,2700};

Hope this info may help you.
Thank you for your interest in this project.
