At long last, I have Live Wind readings here on the property. The wind sensor is mounted atop the peak of the shed for now. Not a lovely day out there and the tunnel PC is still in the shed anyway. It was quick and easy.

Guess I don't really need the 210 degree readout. That thinking is leftover from when I didn't think I'd be able to have a compass and was going to have to do a bunch of math to convert degrees into SSW etc. I'll leave it. Good to know the wind direction in degrees. I think it's safe to round it to a whole number though. LOL Leftover from some other sensor that was connected to that Input.

As I always expected and what makes sense. Airport 25 miles away, open area, wind pretty steady. Me in the hills, not so much. Airport steady out of the South. Me, swinging from WSW to SSE.

It was up close to 270 or West but this is a; last 5 minutes graph; so that's missing. Hasn't been hooked up long enough for a 1 hour graph. A graph for the airport looks different since it gets updated every 5 minutes instead of being in real-time. Looks like a sine wave - square wave with the line going either vertical or horizontal.

Caught about 60 gal of rain off 1/4 of the tunnel roof today from our mist to occasional rain.
