No Wind = windDir windGustDir being set to NULL on Davis Serial Logger

[Oz Greg]

Not sure if this is a bug but It is dead calm outside (pretty rare for my location) and I have been getting both windDir and windGustDir being set to NULL which is not optional.  For now I have inserted a code fix if the event.record is null then set it to 0..

Should this be happening??

Yes. If the wind speed is zero, the wind direction is undefined (not zero, which would be due north).

Thanks Tom,

I will keep my zero code in place as it is breaking the WD output (NULL)
