rtrbt Geschrieben May 26, 2020 at 12:18 Share Geschrieben May 26, 2020 at 12:18 The sensor operates mechanical and the station does not have any facility to calibrate for non-horizontal orientation, so you must install the station as horizontal as possible. On top of the rain fall sensor, there is a small bubble level that can help you orient the station. Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrbt Geschrieben May 26, 2020 at 12:58 Share Geschrieben May 26, 2020 at 12:58 In case you mean the orientation of the cardinal directions: The Outdoor Weather Bricklet does not support remapping the directions (i.e. north, east, south, west -> east, south, west, north).

PeterACox Geschrieben May 29, 2020 at 09:07 Autor Share Geschrieben May 29, 2020 at 09:07 Thanks rtrbt for your replies. I am sorry, I didn't make my question clear enough. I was asking whether the sensor has the ability to measure the true cardinal direction (and therefore must have an inbuilt compass or some sort) or whether I have to make a correction in my data collection program to take account of the installed orientation of the hardware.

rtrbt Geschrieben May 29, 2020 at 14:19 Share Geschrieben May 29, 2020 at 14:19 Hi, You have to correct this in your program, the outdoor weather station can't correct this itself. Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikr0chip Geschrieben June 6, 2023 at 15:30 Share Geschrieben June 6, 2023 at 15:30 Hello could someone tell me in which direction I have to direct the wind sensor? My weatherstation is already installed and I need to program an offset since I am not able to change the sensor direction anymore. thanks Zitieren Link zu diesem Kommentar Share on other sites More sharing options...
