I have wind direction - indoors - in the form of 0-5 vdc = 0-360 degrees (1 degree = 0.013888889 vdc) or 5v divide 360 degrees
0v = 0 or 360 degrees | 1.25v = 90 degrees | 2.50 = 180 degrees | 3.75v = 270
Due North
Nearly due North
Nearly due West (West = 3.75 vdc)
Nearly due East (East = 1.25 vdc)
Could have moved it slightly to get exactly 1.25 VDC for East - 3.75 for West etc but I was just verifying it reads smooth in the full 360 degree circle which it does.
The controller will convert the voltage to degrees as follows;
0.00 vdc = 0 degrees (N)
1.25 vdc = 90 degrees (E)
2.50 vdc = 180 degrees (S)
3.75 vdc = 270 degrees (W)
and so on
I'm going to have to learn degrees as on a compass. Would be easier if my house faced North but it faces S/SE.
Note to self; 315 = cold wind coming down the road(NW) - 180-270 = predominate winds(S-W)
Pollard, from now on you have to include temperature wind direction and windspeed on your posts! You pretty much have the most expensive piece of a weather station. The rest should be easy, a clock, a thermometer, and something for relative humidity, and maybe one of those little white boxes to put them in.
Passing this on. Thirty years ago this would have been something I would have agreed to do. Now, not so much.

"Own a Weather Station? We Want Your Data!"
"Do you own a personal home weather station and a computer with a dedicated connection to the Internet, such as fiber, DSL or cable? If you do, the National Weather Service (NWS) and local television meteorologists would love to see your data! The NWS can ingest your frequently-posted weather data into our data and display systems, which can not only improve computer model data (and subsequent weather forecasts) for your area, but also makes the NWS and local television meteorologists aware of micro-climates (unique temperature, wind and precipitation patterns) specific to your local area. (Etc.)
