First, let me apologize. I didn't mean to imply that the skin was the issue. Thanks for your suggestion to look at the packets. So the loop packets have the correct wind direction in them. The rec packets, however, seem to be rounded to the nearest 22.5 degrees.
Obviously the Davis VP2 is capable of transmitting wind to the whole degree, but the rec packets are being received as if mapped to 8 compass points. To be honest with you, I have little knowledge of how the drivers in weewx work and how they receive data from the VP2 console. Does the console send different packets (the loop and the rec) or does software do that magic? In any case, I'd love to find a way to get this working to the whole degree, if possible. Thanks to any that can help, Ernie On Mon, Jul 20, 2020 at 3:15 PM Pat <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm not sure this is a problem with the skin, but rather your station > reporting the archive value of the wind direction.
