So I have been working on the anemometer on and off for the last month as I have also been working on another project. I have also been working on the final design of the weather vane setup and slicing my thumb :) This will be part one of this part of the weather station, discussing mainly the anemometer.

Weather Station - General Update
A general update of the weather station. The anemometer is coming along nicely, except for changes in final design and construction which I keep making. I am working on a build post for that, which should be up soon.
I received components I ordered the other day so that I can start getting some basic data.
I have a BMP180, DHT22, and 2 RFM12Bs, pictured below for fun:
I have so far tested the DHT22 with the library from Adafruit, it worked well.
I have yet to have some time to test the other stuff and also to find a suitable library for the RFM12 module which doesn't have a heap load of stuff added in. I also have to make level shifters for the two transceivers.
I got these through a local distributor for SparkFun Electronics who had reasonable prices, which is better than paying the import costs and overseas postage.
