## Overview

The SparkFun Weather Meter Kit is a lightweight, analog sensor system designed for professionals and enthusiasts to measure wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall with high precision. Featuring sealed magnetic reed switches and a self-emptying tipping bucket rain gauge, it delivers reliable, easy-to-interpret data. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware and RJ11 cables for straightforward setup, making it ideal for gardens, labs, classrooms, or fieldwork.

## Description

Whether you're an agriculturalist, a professional meteorologist or a weather hobbyist, building your own weather station can be a really rewarding project. When you're measuring weather, however, you need some pretty specialized sensors. This kit represents the three core components of weather measurement: wind speed, wind direction and rainfall.None of the sensors in this kit contain active electronics, instead they use sealed magnetic reed switches and magnets so you'll need to source a voltage to take any measurements. The positive side of this is that the sensors are easy to interpret:The rain gauge is a self-emptying bucket-type rain gauge which activates a momentary button closure for each 0.011" of rain that are collected. The anemometer (wind speed meter) encodes the wind speed by simply closing a switch which each rotation. A wind speed of 1.492 MPH produces a switch closure once per second. Finally, the wind vane reports wind direction as a voltage which is produced by the combination of resistors inside the sensor. The vane’s magnet may close two switches at once, allowing up to 16 different positions to be indicated.All of the included sensors are supplied with RJ11 terminated cables, for information on the pin-out of the cable, check out the images.

Review: Good value for price. Easy to interface. Questionable long term durability.
Review: Good kit with one caveat so far

## Features

- Kit represents the three core components of weather measurement: wind speed, wind direction and rainfall.
- It uses sealed magnetic reed switches and magnets so you'll need to source a voltage to take any measurements.
- All of the sensors in the weather meter kit are passive components. This means you will need a voltage source in order to measure anything with them.
- Sensors include Wind vane, Cup anemometer, Tipping bucket rain gauge. RJ11 terminated cables.
- Stand: Two-part mounting mast, Rain gauge mounting arm, Wind meter mounting bar, 2x Mounting clamps and 4x Zip ties.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it durable in the long term? I mean, is it industrial quality or it is intended to be used only by hobbyists?**
A: I’ve had mine installed in the weather for 15 months with no visible weathering. It’s not industrial quality, but sufficiently sturdy to survive the Florida weather.

**Q: Quiero comprar  pequeña estacion metereologica, cuanto me cuesta y tiempo de entrega a bolivia**
A: The Amazon system should be able to give you delivery time and cost.

**Q: No outdoor temperature?**
A: Temperature is usually done digitally and is often times included in whatever weather board you chose to hook up to this kit to read the analog sensors.  These are just the analog sensors that you might want to use along with a weather board and other digital sensors you might want to include.

**Q: Can you recommend me a board to use this product on a Raspberry Pi?  thanks.**
A: We do not make a pi hat or companion board that is designed to go with Raspberry Pi boards.  It may be that you will need to use a combination of boards/sensors to make it work if you have a specific Raspberry Pi board in mind.  However, we do have a Raspberry Pi RP2040 processor board for MicroMod and a MicroMod Weather Carrier board that will work.
