Oh and if anyone's interested, it's also giving a forecast now as well.

Based on my location and barometric pressure, it's not too far off what we are expecting, lots of rain.

You may be being fortunate to get a good forecast from it with just pressure to work with. It would normally also use wind speed and direction, rainfall, outside temperature and outside humidity.

Ok, I must admit I'm a little confused.

I've found an ISS cheap with radiation shield now, with no sensors.
From what I've read the following sensors from a VP2 will work with a VP1

Annometer
Solar Radiation
UV
Leaf Wetness

Are there any others?

I believe the Temp/humidity sensors from a VP2 won't work though?

Or have I got it all wrong?

I'm afraid I know nothing about the VP1 and compatibility with VP2 sensors.

SJG1976 · **Posted:** Fri Apr 20, 2012 10:11 pm

From what I can work out its the Temp/Humidity sensor that won't work, all the rest I believe do.

I'm not 100% sure though.

John Dann's wiki confirms that: http://vp-kb.wikispaces.com/Compatibility+Info

Thanks Steve,

Will probably slowly waste my money trying to get this one to work then, and will then get a VP2.

Right, spending money again......

Now have an SIM with radiation shield, but still no sensors.

Looking to get the following sensors now.

The impossible Temp/Humidity sensors
Annometer
Solar
Rain Gauge

From looking about most should be easy to get, with the exception of the Temp/Humidity

Just need to find them for a sensible price.

just out of interest, there is a round yellow sticker on top of the 28 pin device, what number is written on it?

SJG1976 · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 1:19 pm

What 28pin device do you mean?

And do you still have an anometer available for sale belfryboy?

SJG1976 · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 1:21 pm

The SIM I have is

Product #6320C

Has an assay number of 07315.152

I think that you might have misunderstood my question,

on the PCB inside the sensor suite there is ayellow sticker, what does it say on it (you can see on this one that it says 1.1)
This is the SIM (Sensor Interface Module)

this is the ISS (Integrated Sensor Suite)

Sorry mine looks different to that.

Can't see any yellow stickers either.

SJG1976 · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 4:29 pm

Sorry mine looks like this...

But I can't see a Yellow Sticker?
Do I need to remove the White Board?

belfryboy · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 5:12 pm

Yup, remove the cover and have a look, it will help determine whether you can use a new temperature sensor.
