No promises here guys...
My neighbors house is 4 stories tall, perfect location for a windmeter since there's NOTHING blocking it from the top of the roof.
Internet access and everything at their place... I could probably talk them into letting me place a windmeter at the top... easy access to it too since there's basicly a roof access. That's the location, and there's not a single thing blocking the wind... That's the park blvd bridge in the img if it gives you a better idea of the location. I'm going to ask them this week if it'd be okay and see what I can do... But no gaurantees, I jumped the gun on Tony last time... If anyone's interested in helping buying the sensor/setting up a site, PM me. Last edited by Optionryder420; 12-27-2011 at 09:37 PM. |

Scott is not here anymore, he was/ is the prime instigator of setting up the new sensors

That's true, but I'm still confused that NOBODY wants a good sensor... Is it just unnecessary?

If someone buys the sensor and sets it up, I'll write the software to talk to it and display it on the webpage.

Tom, just the guy I was hoping to post... I may go ahead and buy one... how much are they usually?
I was amazed at how great of a spot I had right next door... seriously, not a THING in the way could see the gulf, and the whole intercoastal... this spot could read ANY wind direction, although from the east it may be shitty but I really don't know. Anyone have links to some places to buy windmeters? |

And who is going to pay to maintain it? I'm unemployed my friend so not me... :lol:

How much work does it take to maintain a windmeter?
I mean, it's right next door to my house... what would I possibly have to do to keep it in shape? |

What if a part breaks? Are you qualified to fix/replace it? Who's gonna pay for the part(s)? Do you know where to even get the parts? What tools will be needed to repair the meter? Etc, etc, etc. I am not trying to discourage the idea, it is a good idea that we have visited many times, I'm just not sure how workable it actually is on an individual basis...I mean, we see how tough of a time Ikite has, now imagine us, people with no experience using windmeters even making an attempt to maintain a wind meter??? Just food for thought, that's all...
