Hi I am trying to install this on a raspberry pi 4 running debian buster python 3.7 . Do you know what other libraries are needed and do you have a wiring diagram ?

thank you

Hi,

I am not sure what your objective is.

I have a Davis weather station from which I have picked off the anemometer output and the direction output. At each anemometer contact closure and I record the time and the voltage on the direction potentiometer as measured with an a/d converter. It all runs on a Raspberry Pi, but older than a 4 as it has been running for about four years - yes I have a lot of data now.

Looking at the WindMon code, I have to give myself credit for far more documentation than I usually include, but that is all I have.

You need to enable the I2C input of the PI as the ADS1115 is an I2C device. You need the standard PI GPIO library, but I expect that is included by default as should be smbus.

Otherwise nothing special.

Have fun - I never expected anybody to take a look at it.

All the best,

George
