A nearby farmer has a wind gauge on his mailbox, consisting of a cinder block hanging by a chain with a calibrated protractor at the top.</p></p>

Snow, fog, and earthquakes: how cool is that?
Only thing is I can't get any data on those stones. What I/O voltage? Clock speed? Communication protocol? Can anyone help me out?</p>

For the items above, they weren't worth shipping back (return shipping would be expensive), so instead of tossing them or recycling them, we offer them up for sale at a discount. With the volume of products we receive daily, this happens rarely, but enough that we have to deal with it somehow.</p>

Most videos of this nature have some sort of background music to break things up, but I agree it can be distracting. The best I can say is that future videos may or may not have music in them :)</p>

I find it very distracting while I'm watching the video. Maybe others like it, but that's my 2 cents...</p>

That would be awesome, I have one and have been trying to figure out a way to get wheel encoders on it. Also, thanks for the weather shield, I'm thinking that it is time to do a weather station project!</p>
