Weather Station ?'s

Other Hardware Sensors
1

Love my Arduino...I have easily connected a humidity sensor and pushing data to Cosm.

Goal: Outdoor Weather Station

Questions/Suggestion/Best Practices?

#1 Temperature
Digital or Analog?

#2 Temperature and Humidity sensors will need to be under a solar shield and will be exposed to the elements.
Recommendation on sensors for this application
OR recommendation on how to weather proof them

#3 Suggestion for wind speed and wind direction sensors...looking pre-made and arduino compatible

#4 Suggestion for rain amount...looking pre-made and arduino compatible

#3: I found these that I'm going to use: http://www.fascinatingelectronics.com/weatherinst.html

#4: Scott at Argent Data Systems sold me just the rain gauge out of this kit for $10: Wind / Rain Sensor Assembly, Argent Data Systems

Good luck.

Kevin:

Curious what were your decision points to go with the Fascinating Electronics wind instruments instead of the Argent Data Systems wind instruments?
