[Weather] Request for information

[Chris]

Something that you might ask yourself is what do you want from a
weather station.  My system is based around 1-wire products from AAG
and Hobby-Board with Oregon Scientific, La Crosse, and some of my own
design.  The software includes OWW running on an old Dell desktop with
Linux.  I collect the data and display it graphs on my web site.  
I
have spent an awful lot of time writing PERL, PHP, SQL and HTML code to
get what I want.  It's been a lot of fun learning as I go.  It has also
been frustrating when some of the data that I collected turned out to
be bogus because of calibration issues or lack of a radiation shield or
what ever.  Some times the system just stopped working and at the most
inconvenient time.
So now with several years of tinkering and
finally a system that is reliable and provides that data that I want,
would I have been better off spending the money for a Davis Advantage
Pro?  For me the answer is yes, but it has been a lot of fun along the
way.

What are some of the best resources for purchasing the base
system (wind speed/direction/temp)?


 


I have seen many on the www but the pricing is all over the place.
