Whether you're an agriculturalist, a professional meteorologist, or a weather hobbyist, building a weather station can be a rewarding project. This Arduino library allows users to easily record wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall data from our [weather meter kit](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15901). It should be noted that the sensors in the weather meter kit rely on magnetic reed switches and requires a power source to make any measurements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The rain gauge is a self-emptying bucket-type rain gauge, which activates a momentary button closure for each 0.011" of rain that is collected.
|
||
|
|
- The anemometer (wind speed meter) encodes the wind speed by simply closing a switch which each rotation. A wind speed of 1.492 MPH produces a switch closure once per second.
|
||
|
|
- The wind vane reports wind direction as a voltage, which is produced by the combination of resistors inside the sensor. The vane’s magnet could potentially close two switches at once, allowing up to 16 different positions to be indicated, but we have found that 8 positions are more realistic.
