Eric:
I've had the anemometer board in place over a year. It is in a weathertight box on my roof and I connect to it via a 50 ft rj45 cable. I also have the insolation/temp/humidity sensor chained from this via a short 6 ft rj45 cable and finally I've also connected the rain sensor to the screw terminals on the anemometer board via a short 3 ft cable. This all runs back to the active hub.
The problem I'm having is that the wind direction routinely stops updating after a lengthy period (typically a week to week and a half). Wind Speed, rain sensor and insolation/temp/humidity continue to report back just fine. I've tried polling rates from 28 sec up to 60 sec and the time to fail is very consistent. I'm wondering if you can suggest anything that I could consider in figuring out how to troubleshoot this.
I'm using Michael Sharry's xapmcs1wire package that I suspect you aren't all that familiar with but with over 100 devices I'm polling in my house, the entire system is impressively stable other than this one input.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Ken
