You're talking about a complex concoction of electrical, mechanical, mathematical & computer stuff to do the job properly. You can buy something that does all this and much more for about a 100th of the cost to engineer it. No thanks. http://jaycar.com.au/productView.asp...Max=&SUBCATID=

T.Jackson...your solution is boring. I think the whole point here is to learn some new stuff and MAKE some cool electronics. I am in the process of doing something very similar to your project using commercial off the shelf (COTS) products and XBEE.

Checkout http://fascinatingelectronics.com/weatherinst.html for a great and cheap anememometer and wind vane.

Tie this to some www.hoperf.com barometer and temperature sensors

Throw in a pic to talk to these and an 2XBEE's for serial wireless and you are good to go my friend!

That or hack up an aagelectonics.com 1 wire station and you are also in great shape.

See that's where you're wrong. My solution isn't just boring - I'm boring! and it comes with old age. The older I get, the closer I'm becoming to "normal" Normal people don't go out and spend thousands of dollars trying to engineer something that they know they can go and buy for $300. A tried, true & proven product developed by a team of professionals Vs countless hours, lot of money, lot of frustration, and if you're lucky it might turn out half as good. Like I said before, no thanks.

Take it easy, look for some of his old posts here and here:

You'll laugh at many times (...) and it will make you much,much much cooler than when smoking illegals ...

Alain, you're right, I do need a new hobby, an RC helicopter is quite possibly something in my future. PS: ease up on those illegals, they'll kill ya you know.
