Hello,
I just put my mast back up and the weather sensor from the pypilot store and the Davis anemometer don't seem to be working correctly anymore. The anemometer data has been working great for 3 years until now! So I know it isn't working now, but it has been wonderful.
Two problems:
1. The wind angle sensor always displays the wrong direction, seems to have a range of +/30 deg centered around 0.
2. The wind speed value has been 0, no matter the wind speed (much more than 0 at times!). I can see the anemometer spinning at the top of the mast
One fixed problem:
A. The temperature and pressure sensors were sending the wrong data to display, but do work now after I hit the reset button on the Arduino.
I tried using the config command mentioned in this thread from the Arduino IDE when connected via serial to the weather sensor to make sure I'm in Davis vs openSource mode, but the config command didn't bring up any sort of menu on the weather sensor.
Questions:
I. Could there be a pinched wire leading to these bad values from putting up the mast again?
II. Is there a chance I need to get the weather sensor into Davis configuration?
Data upon device startup:
13:12:29.422 -> /zILII*- U bmX280 setup
13:12:31.015 -> Calibrating 0 60 500 1000
13:12:31.015 -> $ARMWV,6.05,R,0.00,N,A*2d
data from steady state operation.
13:09:48.219 -> $ARMWV,27.25,R,0.00,N,A*1c
13:09:48.303 -> $ARMWV,27.30,R,0.00,N,A*18
13:09:48.418 -> $ARMWV,27.26,R,0.00,N,A*1f
13:09:48.510 -> $ARMWV,27.18,R,0.00,N,A*12
13:09:48.618 -> $ARMWV,27.18,R,0.00,N,A*12
13:09:48.696 -> $ARMWV,27.96,R,0.00,N,A*14
