Hi Jardi, Thanks a lot for the reply - much appreciated.
I'm quite new to this whole world of rasberry pi so please forgive my ignorance. The reason why i was looking at that Davis anemometer and wind vane is because it is one of the few sets that i've seen which have a wind vane and anemometer in one. It is also popular in the kitesurfing world because it is strong - as you can imagine things that live at the ocean tend to rust and seize up quicker than usual. It appears that the Davis anemometer ( https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2kBgCTh&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEbQn_pq_hx9UCYynPH_2mJVLGu9g) has an RJ11 plug on the end so i don't know how that would work with a rasberry pi? Is that where your driver would help? The obvious solution is to buy the Davis vantage weather station which the anemometer plugs into but that is 4x the price and not necessary since i don't need rain, temp, humidity sensors etc. If you think that it is way to technical to try get that Davis anemometer working without it's vantage master unit then please tell me and i'll let that idea go. Many thanks, Sean.
