interfacing for weather station #3

Description

@cbrake

Need to figure out hardware to interface with a generic weather station:

The rain guage and anemometer have momentary switches that need to be read.

The wind vane has a resistor network that outputs a voltage, so we'll need a A/D input.

Should also add a temp, humidity, and barometric pressure sensor.

Sensors are attached to cables with RJ11 connectors on them.

Seems we'll need some type of enclosure for electronics that will have:

  • a white case for minimum solar heating
  • outdoor rated
  • no self heating from electronics
  • electronics sealed, but humidity/temp sensor exposed to humidity
  • 1-wire connection to GW -- this will isolate heat from GW, and allow GW to be installed inside, etc.
