Hi,

we have built and set up a small observatory on our school roof (see picture). The observatory is supposed to be automated using the Ekos scheduler. One of my students has built an Induino Meteostation according to the manual by Magnus Eriksen. Since the observatory is in an exposed location and has a quite large attack surface when the roof is open, we would like to expand the Meteostation to measuring wind and gust using a sensor like this: www.froggit.de/product_info.php?language...080-1090-wh4000.html

Has anyone expanded their Meteostation to measuring wind and gust and can give advice on how to modify the INDI Meteostation driver?

I would be thankful for any help,
Simon

P.S.: My solution for now is to use the Induino Meteostation together with OpenWeatherMap data through the Weather Meta driver. However, the wind data is not measured locally at the observatory.
