Great stuff! I'm working on this setup exactly and found your video. Thanks for the detailed explanation, it's sure to help me get it up and running.

Thanks for putting this together. I have the micro mod version from sparkfun and finally finishing up coding it. So much detail and research. Awesome vid.

11:59 his code uses more memory actually but the advantages of his style is that is more readable and easier to make changes to. Both work, great job

Absolutely excellent. Answered all my questions about these sensors, thankyou!

Your explanation of all the sensors is excellent. My transmitter is faulty and I was hoping to use the sensors with an Arduino to get it working again. This is brilliant! Exactly what I needed to know

Hello Modest Maker! I would like to thank sharing your knowledge with us. I'm building my own weather station and this video help me. Thank you.

VERY fun to watch as I have almost the exact same hardware as you, coincidentally. Watching you debounce the tipping bucket was a deja vu. I added a large funnel to the tipping bucket to increase its sensitivity. By adding the large funnel you collect a lot more rain and get a lot more tips, which can be calibrated out. I wish I had found your video before I tackled the project. I've added the link to this video to my own notes.

The Part Of Denounce noise and Hardware Time Delay Was My Favourite Love You

This is great information. Thank you for sharing your work. I have just acquired the same Argent hardware and am in the process of doing something similar with Heltec Cubecell LoRaWAN modules. This will no doubt save me significant time. Cheers!

This is an incredible video! Thank you very much!

very well explained, thank you.

Your explanation of all the sensors is excellent. I am planning to make a weather station by using these sensors. Thank you for this nice and useful video.

you should definitely integrate this and other projects into Home Assistant. Yeap! Great work!

Reed switches often produce a double operation when a magnet sweeps across them. It's much more than contact bounce - more like a dead spot in the middle. It can also make reeds difficult to use as limit switches for things that move. I have also found that some RF filtering is a good idea on sensor wiring to reduce the effects of strong RF signals being picked up.

The tutorial I'm being waiting for...!

Excelente video. Gracias

Thanks for exelent info I go to setup my selfbild tipping bucket rain gauge with arduino Uno !

Thanks for this video, I love it

I thank you for your excellent job in analysing and try to figure out the reed switch in circuits. What has being mentioned bellow is the interference that RF poses for these sensitive circuits. Also should be considered is in case of thunder. Discharges among clouds or between cloud and earth poses a thread to chip circuits. That is a fact that most manufactures try to put circuits far from sensores bellow in a metalic box. When you have chips and circuits outside they are prime to pick up these signals even burn out chips. I have had some expirience with that. I don't have expirience especifically with hall effect component mounted in an outside set.

Excellent!

OMG!!! I wish I found this sooner.

AMAAAAAAAZING WORK !!

Great work! FYI Water sensor is based on physics and limit of the sensor. At some read you just have to treat sensor as overfull. In addition you should acknowledge data errors and data lost. My general idea: collect data in database and process it later.

thankyou!

Thanks for sharing this script and circuit. I've used the Schmitt trigger version and it works well. Minor comment - the RC time constant from 10 uF and 10 k ohms is 0.1 sec. I've used 2.2 uF and 66 kOhms (0.15 TC) and it seems to work well.

EXCELLENT. thank you. I am about to replace my acuweather weather station that has failed in many ways but I think I will hack it for fun and see if I can make a better display. Thanks for the wonderful tips and beautiful explanation. I also live in Arizona and I wonder if a separate rain gauge that was specific for monsoon type rains with logic that would switch form the sensitive tip gauge when the rate was over, say .5inches per hour to the less sensitve gause that would work better for the mega rain storms.

UPDATE 3/31/2020 - Video has been edited to remove erroneous comments associated with time delays in ISR functions since there is no time delay in the summarized sketch's ISR function. This is the reason the video jumps abruptly right before the discussion of Hall effect sensors, which is yet another alternative presented to eliminate issues with reed switch bounce. UPDATE 2/18/2020: At minute 23:36 and 25:55, I raise a concern about using a 15 millisecond delay in an interrupt function associated with the tipping bucket rain gage code. In retrospect, I observe that there is no delay in ISR function, rather I'm just evaluating elapsed time, so the concern is unwarranted. Bottom line is this: A software approach to filtering bounce complicates the code a little bit, but results in an easier circuit to build; whereas a hardware approach results in cleaner code, but requires a little more soldering up front (you pick). Personally, I prefer the hardware approach (either Hall-effect magnet or RC/Schmitt trigger) since this just "feels" like a more stable solution. Having said that, it's my gut feeling-- I am not an EE nor have I tested this in the field. (That's coming shortly - stay tuned!).

Interesting video. I also wonder how well the Argent tipping bucket works in the NE with slushy, freezing rain (assuming an unheated environment for the tipping bucket)

I have been working on building my own solar powered hilltop weather station to report conditions for our paragliding club and I originally started work with a design for a Raspberry Pi 3B+. I soon realised that the Pi would use way too much power so I switched to using an ESP32 microcontroller. Like the Arduino the ESP32 uses much less power and with deep sleep it can run on a modest solar supply for an extended period. I am using the Argent wind sensors and everything is running on 3.3V. Having watched your video I also decided to deconstruct the Argent library and I have had to re-code it for a number of reasons. My ESP32 design runs on 3.3V and I use 4.7 Kohms in the voltage divider which I cribbed from the Pi project for better vind vane voltage separation at 3.3V. I also find the ADC on the ESP32 too noisy so I used an ADS1115 16-bit ADC which is much more accurate and stable. However, this results in different ADC numbers for the consenual averaging code. I found your spreadsheet very useful for this. I now have a very respectable rewrite of the library. I also had to fix the gust counting code in the library. There was no provision to re-set the gust counter. My gust counter now drops values over a minute old and works really well. I am not using the rain gauge as my MCU will sleep for 15 minutes, take readings, publish them and go to sleep for another 15 minutes (something of that order yet to be set in stone). I therefore don't collect rain data but I am using a BME 280 for temperature pressure and humidity readings which allows the system to predict expected cloud base which is very useful information for hill pilots. I'm therefore very grateful to Argent for the library and to you for your work with this project too. I'm happy to share my code if this helps.

Hi, have you considered a mercury tilt switch for the rain gauge, would this need debouncing in this application.Very good video,Thank You

Thank yo so much for the video. It is very informative. But I am wondering how it is known that a wind speed 2.4 km/s causes the switch to close once per second? Probably it depends from the diameter of the cup housing?

Best of Analyse and hacking ever seen thanks for UKposts Works

very interesting video. Thank you for such good explanations. I'm just starting simply with tipping rain sensor into Arduino. Do you have a wire diagram for how to link to arduino or simple explanation ( I don't know how to interpret the electrical diagram into breadboard and Arduino). With 2 wires from rain sensor, Im not sure how to connect 5v, gun and the pinOut 3 to the 2 wires....

In the anemometer. There are two switch closures for each turn. Do you should divide by two the number of switch closures?

I love this video, but how are you storing your data? SD card, spiffs, or to a server via PHP? Or just view real time data?

Excelente información, me podria pasar la conexión del anemómetro por favor?, saludos!!!

Question in this video there come two wires from the Hall sensor to breadboard but there or 3 contact point on a hall sensor, so must I connect ground to negatieve on the Arduino or breadboard and the signal and positieve like this Video time 32.04 ?

Truly a fascinating and informative video. I do wonder if you are trying to reinvent the wheel by replacing the tipping bucket reed-switch with Hall effect i/c?

Hi! Thanks for the video. How could I convert analog read from wind direction to: north, northeast, east, southeast... Thank you so much

hi, how did you cannected arduino to the rj45 connectores (wires in each hole ?)

hello! I've been trying to connect the ESP32 to the weather vane unsuccessfully, and I'd like to know if you can provide some guidance on the connection, please.

Hi I know that the wind speed sensor rj11 cable is connected to the wind vane, which then the both of them share one rj11 cable. Can I know how do i wire the rj11 to the arduino uno? And the rain gauge is also a rj11 connection, can i know how do the wiring works as well? By the way, great video!

Hi Modest Maker i have bougth the same from Argent with the module ADS-WS1. How can i connect it and i want to read data with raspberry. Thanks

Hi, what is your simple software to program just an array's direction on black background at 11:25?

How would I go about connecting these weather sensors ( just the wind speed and wind direction) to an ESP32?

Hello again!! I don't understand very well English, I don't know if you told in the video. Can you tell me how did you show the white arrow making circles in the screener?

it posible if the arduino is change in to nodeMCU esp8266 the code will be change too ?

Great project but I'd prefer to use an ESP 8266 due to it's lower power consumption.

I used the argent code to test my anemometer but for some reason the gust speed doesn't reset, it just shows it maximum (ever) speed, rather than the max of recent values. Any ideas what's causing this?

Do you have a fritzing diagram for your anemometer?

where do attach the anemometer to the sparkfun board

What software did you use to demonstrate wind speed at 36:53?

Hey I've got an issue when trying to combine the code of anemometer and the rain gauge. When i move the anemometer it also counts up into my rain gauge. When i flip the rain gauge, it adds to the anemometer too. Do you have a code that combined these two sensors? The best thing would be if someone had a code where they had all 3 of the sensors in one code so I could look through it and see how you figured it out. It would really help me thank you.

Queston: any place i can buy the pole separately from AliExpress?

Need your help can't do the same in Esp32 wemos d1 R32, i change the values ADC Reading to 4095/3.3v still dons't work properly

hello why when i connect wind speed to wind direction and connect this to arduino working but when i connect 5v arduino turns off

um the schmitt trigger circuit along with filter, is still draining the battery during not rainy day. reed switch removes the drain. that is the reason why they picked reed switch, is battery economics, not the market prices. same problem of battery drain applies to hall effect sensor. on the anneometer, switch bounce is still problem increasing "counts". another problem, what if the cup happen to rest (stop moving) where magnet and reed switch is lined up giving false count. will need programming to counter this false reading.

hi , about anemometer , I don't know how to connect yellow wire and red wire to arduino. Can you help me ?

where can i find the datasheets of all the sensors?

Good afternoon, you can order the dimensions of the boards, weather vane and anemometer, maybe someone has drawings ?. It may also be that someone has an electrical circuit of the anemometer and weather vane. Maybe someone has a board layout in the EasyEDA program. Thanks in advance for links and projects.

hi! im planning to use these sensors to do a remote station for outside city fields with a gsm module and sms alert when the user wants (this part of gsm is alredy done) and when start raining, dude i have a question can you help me because i want to send an automatic message when start raining and other when stop raining and what amount of water fall in this rainy period like an if(start raining){ send message "its raining"} and when it finish raining send ("its stops raining 34mm of water fall in this rainy session")

Tell me how to get instead of degrees, i.e. a numerical letter indicating the direction of the wind, such as north or east. Nothing is indicated in your sketch, it works, but it only shows numbers. Total Rain: 0.00 Wind speed: 0.0 Gusting at: 0.0 Wind Direction: 90 (instead of numbers, direction for example NORTH) Total Rain: 0.00

By the way this weather station incluids temperature and humidity sensor. What about them ? thank you again.
