WeatherPiArdinuo V3 w/Grove (aka Weather Board) connectors - Interface Board for Weather Instruments for Raspberry Pi/Arudino

Got it working well with the supplied software and examples for the wind speed and direction sensors. I don't need anything else for this particular project, at least for now...Make sure you read the documentation and understand how this works. If you're expecting an easy setup, you may want to look at other options. If you're somewhat familiar with how PI/Arduino communication works, this option might be for you.

The board itself, and the actual weather instruments that go with it, are pretty good for the price. The problem is the documentation and sample code, or more specifically, *finding* the documentation and sample code. It's actually there, on their website, but they really could use someone with a whiteboard to organize their website better. Part of the problem is "Pi" everywhere. It's fine if you bought this to work with a Raspberry Pi, or if you bought it to go with both an Arduino and a Pi. But if you did like I did and just bought it to go with an Arduino, it's hard to find the right software. The page for this board misdirects you right away - you read down their page and the first place you hit the Arduino drivers is about 30 lines down, in the "Software for WeatherPiArduino Board" section. Very first link is for Arduino, and it points to the wrong depository. That points you to one that expects both a Pi and an Arduino, with a webserver for the Pi, and a fully populated board with all the bells and whistles.What you really want to do is wade (through some useful stuff and some thick mud) down about 1/3 of the way down that long page, to another section titled "Software", where you'll find the not-intuitively named "SDL_Weather_80422" class library, which is what you need to get started. So if you don't have a Pi, you need to avoid anything that says Pi, but if you do have an Arduino, you need to look for something that doesn't say Arduino either.The rest of that page is useful sample code (already included in their mis-named SDL_Weather_80422 *class library* - it's really the terrific Arduino example with the class library that supports it) and instructions for how to get things to work with Arduino. So why'd they cram all the Pi stuff at the top and misdirect you to the wrong repository? Really, someone just needs to do a bit of reorganizing.

The Seller and the product (Hw) deserve a 5*, but the documentation associated is very bad, confuse, not updated and sometimes incomplete.

Works as explained in the tutorials and instructions.And nice support from SwitchDocLabs.

The description clearly states that it comes with software. It came with absolutely nothing. No software. Not even a leaflet for documentation.

As others have stated, you need some experience with Pi's before attempting this project. My concern was the documentation. I studied the diagrams and parts list. It wasn't until I couldn't get it to work did I realize there are more parts needed unless you can re-write their code. They are very helpful if you only have a few questions. After I asked a few questions, they stopped responding to my questions. I am slowly getting it working but it's a struggle without any help.

The documentation is good, but lacking in wiring diagrams. They explain each pin on the board but there's no wiring diagram to show how to hook it up. They do give a "wiring table", but it's not real clear. Once I figured out the board, everything fell into place and it works nicely. You do need to add other boards such as the analog to digital converter, ads1115. An overall wiring diagram showing what plugs go where would be great. (They have photos, but the jumble of wires is impossible to figure out.)

I like it
