Weather Station Thunder-2M (Anemometer)
Hello dear ITishniki and Ambedder. In your judgment and opinion stand above entitled post.
The fact is that even three years ago there was a desire to create a weather station for the house, but with no time and more financially possible, this desire haunted me throughout this time. Just a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to gradually get rid of this annoying persecution mania.

Attention! Under the cut traffic!
So, turning over my capabilities and some developments in this regard, I decided that my weather station should consist of the following main parts:
1) Wind speed sensor ( Anemometer , ang. Anemometer ).
2) Wind direction sensor ( Weathervane , Eng. Weather vane ).
3) The precipitation amount sensor, and the precipitation sensor as such, in one version ( Sediment meter , Eng. Rain gauge ).
4) Temperature, humidity and pressure sensor in one version.
5) Solar radiation sensor.
The controller part, on collecting information from the sensors and then converting it into the protocol (s), I think will be done on the STM microcontroller.
It also assumes the creation of a client to connect to the station.
Estimated data exchange protocols with sensors 1-Wire , with AWS-user RS-485
The structural diagram of the weather station, drawings and sizes of elements used, I will give in the following posts.
From the design features, it should be noted that SPR-tees were used as bearing elements of all sensors. This choice turned out to be quite successful, since by applying such elements it will be possible to achieve the most correct structural installation of all the sensors and the entire supporting structure of the station. As the mechanical elements of the wind speed and direction sensors, bearings and bushings from the CPU cooler coolers were chosen for relatively old PCs.
The name was not chosen randomly. Thunder , in itself, means a kind of weather phenomenon, and the very name for such a device sounds “loud”. The number 2, means the second version (second attempt) of creating such a device (since the first version was very unsuccessful). The letter "M" at the end of the name, says that it is a weather station.
Total, we get: Thunder-2M . In my humble opinion, it sounds good.
Actually, what it was made of:
Connector collection:
Collection of anemometer area:
Collection of the anemometer itself:
Final result:
Well, at the end a couple of encoders (about them in other articles):
Also, among other things, the article was created in order to obtain "karma" on this wonderful resource.
In the future, the placement of other publications on all sensors, controllers and programs is planned.
I hope that this small article inspired someone to create or repeat such devices.
Thank you all, Bye everyone!
Best regards zhogar.

And of course the photo
.I apologize for the quality of the latter, since only window lighting was present.
