The view from the Waiheke Weather sensors at Marine View Rd, Onetangi. On a clear day you can see straight out to Gt Barrier. This photo was taken with an iPhone 3GS. I find the distortion of the La Crosse annemometer cups in the photo interesting.
After months of head scratching and replacing gear I have finally found the reason that the Marine View weather station wouldn’t work on cable. My obsessive compulsive desires to have a neat and tidy installation resulted in the anemometer wiring being cable tied with the rain gauge and console output cables.
Cut the cable ties and presto. Who would of thunk that?
At 18:00 Sunday the 11th of December 2011 Marine View Weather Station was brought online. A rain detail page and a wind rose have been addes tot he site.
It’s been a busy week, both weather wise and work wise. It was distressing to see the AS350 Squirrel helicopter get destroyed at viaduct harbour while putting up a Christmas tree for Telecom. I marvel that no one was seriously hurt considering the helicopters integrity was destroyed. Very lucky indeed.
The test weather setup has been running faultlessly for a week so it must be time to return it to Marine View Rd. People seem to be liking the daily weather forecast provided by Richard, the stats say it all with nearly 1000 visits a week.

The computer is all rebuilt and the anemometer arrived from Tesa today. The old Onetangi weather gear has been assembled on a 2m barge mount for testing purposes.
There is test data available now. The Console of the WS2310 has been made to power prom the USB bus on the computer.
Going to leave it for a few days before send it back up to Marine View Rd
All the weather station sensing equipment has been disassembled ready for testing and re installing. Watchout for test data to appear
