Comments: Weather Shield Hookup Guide

Hello. I’m using the Weather Shield (not this but the last release) with an Arduino M0 and the recommended codes, but I can not get valid values for the measurements. I tried using the sheild in an Arduino UNO and everything goes well, but with Arduino M0 I’m getting something like (PS: I’m using the last version of Arduino IDE and i tried in previous versions too):

Humidity = -5.81%, temp_h = -46.58F, Pressure = -999.00Pa, temp_p = -1766.20F

Tanks, André

I was just wondering if the windgust should reset and follow the windspeed... it currently just sits at the highest recorded windspeed, and only changes when the speed is greater than that ... I feel that if the wind speed drops to zero, then so should the current gust reading ?

Hi! Everyone!This is my first real Arduino project. I have a little problem, i’m tring to make a wheater station with this shield in Arduino UNO. The wind direction always return -1 ,but wind speed works great. The same happens Arduino Mega2560.

Please forgive me for my impolite behavior.

If anyone can help me out that would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Anyone have problems with Windspeed when using the IMP Shield? My windspeed works fine when using the SF Weather Shield, SF Weather Meters, and an Arduino Uno R3.

When I add the Imp Shield to the stack, my wind speeds all report to 0. I've checked Digital Pin 3 on the stackable riser on the Imp and WeatherShields. All the conections seem ok.

Could I try a different digital I/O pin for windspeed? i.e. move the WSPEED to pin 5?

I'm looking for suggestions on what to try next.. Running out of ideas.

I'm using the Sparkfun weather shield with an Arduino Uno. My temperature is consistently a bit high (right now it's reading 7 to 9 degrees higher than my neighbors' weather stations are showing on wunderground). Is there a typical amount of variance that maybe hasn't been captured in the sample code? Anyone else see it read high for them?

Is there any repo for ALS - PT19? Thank you.

Hello! This is my first real Arduino project, I got to say I was sweating a bit as I was soldering (I got a long way to go with that), but it all worked! I have data flowing from all my sensors.

When I upload the unedited code I get the following warning:

Sketch uses 16,740 bytes (51%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 1,711 bytes (83%) of dynamic memory, leaving 337 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.
Low memory available, stability problems may occur.

The code is only 465 lines long, is there a way to boost the memory?

All my cards are made by Sparkfun, I have the redboard with a wifi shield, with the weather shield. I really want to get the wifi shield to work and have my weather data get transmitted to a database or some other storage with eventual upload to an internet site or made available to weatherbug.

Also, any pointers with getting two shields working together? Can I just take the wifi code and mix it in with the weather station with GPS code? I am worried about it already complaining about low memory!

If anyone can help me out that would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

I'm trying to use the Weather Shield with an arduino mega. I works fine with an uno, but when I connect it to a mega the temp, humidity and pressure readings are way off (by hundreds or thousands of units). The instructions say that this board can be used with other Arduinos with modifications, but it doesn't say what those are. I need something bigger than an uno as I'm using more sensors and an ethernet shield to complete my project. Help!!!

There's a bug in the Example Code WITH GPS. Any Windspeed > 0 would be reported as "nan".

Code Line 166: float currentSpeed = get_wind_speed(); Should be: float currentSpeed = windspeedmph;

Then it should report the proper windspeed.

The example code ran fine for me in the browser using the Codebender plugin, but I ran into trouble when I tried to download and modify the code to pare down the unused weather station and GPS data in the serial stream. I think it might have something to do with the spaces in the name "Weather Shield Example" but I wasn't able to figure it out before just copy/pasting everything

When using the code without GPS and even with GPS why does the wind speed read Nah or 0 when I have the wind sensor attached?

Hi! Everyone! I have a little problem, i'm tring to make a wheater station with this shield but one i have decked into mi Arduino Yun i can't get data from the sensors, the humidity e pressure sensors say that the i2c request has timed out and the light sensor has a weird ouput, i think that's because on yun the sda and scl pins have been moved, i would appreciate any kind of help...

I wonder if I can add more sensors to the weather shield such as an UV sensor. I've been looking for free analog pins but it seems that there is no one free.

What sort of enclosure would you use with this? Seems like you'd need something exposed to the elements, but still free from getting wet.
