Hello !

I'm currently starting to begin to think about upgrading my station 
(currently Oregon WMRS200, not the best on the market :-)).

I was thinking about a Davis, but it's definitly out of my budget 
(considering it seems very complex to avoid the genuine receiver).  
Also I was thinking about vantage vue and it seems to me very curious that 
the wind sensor and temp sensor are stuck together   (temp should be ~ 1.5m 
high on grass, while wind sensor should be as high as possible).


So I start checking this owfs idea !

- my 1st question: as far as I understood:  all sensors are connected with 
"1-wire" to a usb interface plugged in the host computer.
So the weewx host computer has to be close to the sensor ...? any way to 
make this wireless ? my sensors are at the end of my garden.




- my 2nd question: I found a few idea to even build my own wind direction 
sensor ( davis style: with a potentiometer).
I'm pretty sure I will find to Analog to 1-wire ICs, but does anybody 
already tried such solutions ?

for diy wind direction sensor, here is the link:

It seems very easy: a potentiometer, a spare davis vanes and that's it :-)



Best regards,
Fred
