The old Dallas Semiconductor station (was over 7 years old) has been replaced due to bad reed switch in the NE position. The new station is a V3 AAG Station. This was put up on July 16, 2005.
Currently this entire station consists of the AAG Wind/Temp station, a TAI-8570 AAG Barometer, TAI-8595 Hub, AAG Humidity sender. It all runs on OWW running on my Linux box
The Dallas Semiconductor One Wire Weather station was remounted in a new location on November 13, 2004. The weather station and rain gauge both survived the wind disaster, with only some bracket and clamp damage, but perhaps this is when the NE reed switch got cracked. I hope that the wind direction and speed are more accurate since the anemometer and vane are now above the roof level of the house. The old location was at the peak end of the garage.
I installed a Hobby Boards Lightning Detector [LD4-R1-A]. I installed it into a section of 3/4 inch PVC pipe and a conduit body. The antenna is in the pipe section and the detector board is in the conduit body section. This is also on the One Wire Weather network and is recognized by the OWW program as GPC1. There will be background noise counts, but lightning should show up as numerous counts. Here is a view from the back of the house showing the detector just below the Weather Station.
The plot program is captured from a desktop plotting utility called trend. It is in scrolling mode and the freshest data is the brighter white and originates from the right side. Older data appears as a faded intensity white line. The vertical ticks are approximately 10 minutes apart.
