New wind sensor - Pypilot + Davis
#34
Hi Sean,
my Davis sensor has only one season of operation, less than one year, so it is not the most probable explanation, but if necessary I will check it and by the way try to rotate the potentiometer to avoid the dead zone and the 180° compensation (there was no way for me to put the sensor forward).
I don't think to a problem with the RJ11 plug because it is shining and my boat stay very dry, but I will use a contact cleaning spray to clear this question.
Meanwhile, I intend to check the weather sensor at home. I think inject variable voltage on the RJ11 data wire, so between earth and data wires. I read on the Davis Internet site that the signal for the speed is given by a an magnetic switch, so I can try to send an hacked signal by a way to imagine, and for the direction a variable voltage.
I was thinking to a possible Arduino software corrupted, maybe do to electromagnetic surge during lighting storm. Is there a way to check the integrity of this soft and to reinstall a clean one in case of trouble?
thanks for your help,
Eric
