Post by thread:Thanks - Measure Weather Stuff

I wanted to thank Mike Long, Dennis Frost, Steve Childress, Michael Hagberg, Jeff Martin, and W. Stein for replying to my question about projects related to measuring wind speed, wind direction, and temperature with Stamps/PICs. I am in the process of figuring out which of the suggestions to attack first. If anyone else has any thoughts or ideas, I'm still interested. Maplin, RS Components, and Farnell were sited as possibilities for kits and transmitters/receivers. I'm in the USA and am not familiar with those companies. Are they represented in the USA? Or do you know of some similar companies here? Carl Connett spam_OUTcarlcTakeThisOuToutreach.mhs.compuserve.com

Hi Carl, Sorry if I come in a bit late on this topic.. >I wanted to thank Mike Long, Dennis Frost, Steve Childress, Michael >Hagberg, Jeff Martin, and W.

During the summer I built a weather station able to measure temperature, wind speed and wind direction with a BS1-IC. The temperature is done with a DS1620 from Dallas and for the wind part I used a ready made anemometer/wind vane by Davis. The weather information is then sent to a PC that performs corrections and average calculations as well as presentations and logging of the measured weather data. It was a challange to fit it in a BS1-IC but it's doable ;-). See the L.O.S.A #039 for more info...
