Weather Meter Kit

This Weather Meter Kit provides the three core sensors for a DIY weather station: an anemometer (wind speed), a wind vane (wind direction), and a rain gauge. All three sensors use passive magnetic reed switches rather than active electronics, making them simple to interface with any microcontroller.

All sensors terminate in RJ11 connectors for clean, standardised wiring.

Key Features

• Anemometer – Closes a reed switch once per rotation; 1.492 mph (2.4 km/h) produces one closure per second
• Wind Vane – Reports direction as a variable resistance via internal resistor network; magnet can close two switches simultaneously for up to 16 compass positions
• Rain Gauge – Self-emptying tipping-bucket design; one reed switch closure per 0.011″ (0.28 mm) of collected rainfall
• Passive Sensors – No active electronics; uses sealed magnetic reed switches for long-term reliability
• RJ11 Connectors – All sensors terminate in standard RJ11 plugs

Ideal For

• DIY weather stations with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32
• Agricultural and environmental monitoring
• Educational meteorology projects
• Remote and off-grid weather logging
