I found a code for my weather station.
Link: SEN-08942
The applications (rain gauge, anemometer, and wind vane) are same as the pictures shown in the link.
For the circuit, I used only wires and resistors, as the note said.
However, my problem is that I could never get revolution data.
The wind vane works, but the rain gauge and the anemometer did not.
The screen always show zero (see attachment).
Down bellow is my code for wind speed and rain gauge.
I gather data every 5 seconds and average wind speed.
For wind speed:

/* Arduino sketch for Weather device from Sparkfun.
Uses only the wind direction vane and the anemometer (not the rain gauge).
Although the inclination for a weather logger is to run it for
a long time, due to the way Wiring.c implements the millis() function,
this should be restarted, oh, monthly. The millis() functions overflows
after about 49 days. We could allow for that here, and handle the
wraparound, but you've got bigger problems anyway with the delay()
function at an overflow, so it's best to "reboot".
=========================================================
ANEMOMETER
=========================================================
This is connected to Arduino ground on one side, and pin 2 (for the
attachInterrupt(0, ...) on the other.
Pin 2 is pulled up, and the reed switch on the anemometer will send
that to ground once per revolution, which will trigger the interrupt.
We count the number of revolutions in 5 seconds, and divide by 5.
1 Hz (rev/sec) = 1.492 mph = 2.40114125 kph = 2401.1 m/h
=========================================================
WIND DIRECTION VANE
=========================================================
We use a classic voltage divider to measure the resistance in
the weather vane, which varies by direction.
Using a 10K resistor, our ADC reading will be:
1023 * (R/(10000+R))
where R is the unknown resistance from the vane. We'll scale
the 1023 down to a 255 range, to match the datasheet docs.

The ADC values we get for each direction (based on a 255 max)
follow, assuming that pointing away from the assembly center
is sector zero. The sector number is just which 45-degree sector
it is, clockwise from the "away" direction. The direction
shown is assuming that "away" is West. Depending how
you orient the system, you'll have to adjust the directions.
Sector Reading Direction
0 18 W
1 33 NW
2 57 N
7 97 SW
3 139 NE
6 183 S
5 208 SE
4 232 E
The values in the ADC table below list the midpoints between
these, so our reading can vary a bit. We'll pick the first value
that's >= our reading.
=========================================================
RAIN GAUGE
=========================================================
Implemented here.
It is done the same way as the anemometer, and use
attachInterrupt(1, ...) on pin 3. Each interrupt represents
.011 inches of rain (0.2794 mm), according to the docs.
