In my last post about the Anemometer project I did mention that the LaCrosse station could be integrated in Arduino, but it would require a complex reverse engineering.
Looks like Jonathan Oxfer and his friend Marc Alexander have already implemented it. Check it out:

I have previously discarded the option to integrate LaCrosse stations in my projet, due to its total cost. However, it is now back on the plan.
I still consider that this station is too expensive when compared to a DIY version, but the truth is that many people are currently using them. Altough, many are unhappy, due to the complex infrastructure needed to transmit data over the internet, as explained in the previous post.
By running a parallel project to integrate LaCrosse stations with Arduino, I could provide this “extensions” to these guys in a kind of partnership.
I would give them the ability to measure wind without their expensive computers and they would give me permission to use the anemometer measurements in my web-site.

Franklin gostei muito do seu projeto e estou pensando em fazer um projeto parecido para medir temperatura, umidade, chuva, direcao de velocidade do vento e transmitir isto via celular, entao gostaria de saber como ligar o celular ao Arduino, fazer a transmissao e a recepcao dos dados.
Eu estou acompanhando e queria saber mais detalhes desta parte do projeto.

Outra coisa eu tenho o PDF do livro “Pratical Arduino” do link acima “LaCrosse stations with Arduino” e da mais detalhes do projeto LaCrosse.

Armando,
você trabalha no CPTEC? Eu acompanho o vento com frequência na estação de Tramandaí.
Você encontrar como ligar o arduigo no celular, e também outros detalhes do projeto, no link:
