Have ordered all the parts for the TX and RX and am waiting for them to arrive. I need to work out what sensors to use. I'd like something accurate, reliable, serviceable and so assume the most obvious choice is to purchase Davis sensors ? I need rain, wind direction and speed, temp and humidity. Might add solar radiation in future.
If so has anyone got advice on how to purchase these bits in Aus ?
I can ebay for secondhand sensors or weather stations which will probably be hit and miss ?
I can buy individual sensors and piece them together ? Maybe buying wind and rain and add a sensor to a separately purchased fan aspirated enclosure ?
More expensive would be to buy a new integrated sensor suite ? which I might end up having to do.
I figure some of you guys have worked this out before. Any thoughts appreciated.
