The only catch now is that I couldn't put it on the front of the mast, it had to go on the side, which means the wind direction is out by 90 degrees. Any way to adjust this either in the anemometer itself, or by updating the pypilot display instead?
The weathersensor arduino has a build in configurator. Just use a serial terminal (minicom, HyperTerminal, etc), connect to the weathersensor serial port (38400 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit), and type "config", then follow the on-screen instructions to select the sensor type (davis or pypilot), wind offset, barometer offset, temperature offset. The configuration will be persistent (stored inside the weathersensors arduino flash).
Just be sure to disable any other process accessing the weathersensor port during the configuration step. If you have openplotter reading from the sensor maybe the easiest solution is to unplug the weathersensors from the Raspberry PI and plug it into a separate computer for the configuration step.
