Hello,

I would like to set-up an anemometer and windwane weather station for our sailing club. The scope would be:
  • context: there is available Wifi and power supplies,
  • record precise wind informations,
  • log locally the history to be able to do some stats
  • allow to access locally to the information via a screen
  • allow to access locally to information via a phone
  • publish the information on Windguru and/or Windy
The intention would be to use a robust Davis 6410 anemometer-windvane.

I have Linux and arduino basic skills, but I'm not an expert. So I look at something already "proven".

WeeWX on a Rpi seems a good way to go.

I have seen this project with Rpi+Arduino: https://github.com/wrybread/weewx-ArduinoWeatherStation

There are also several arduino/ESP based projects like https://github.com/zpukr/esp8266-WindStation. But I don't know if they can interface easily with WeeWX.

I have not seen projects only relying only on the RPi for analog windvane (like the Davis one). But I would appreciate a solution like that.

What would you advice as being the easiest, most proven way to fit our needs ?

Best regards,

JMF
